Thanks rick~
Actually, I use Dimon to read dicom files, though I know Dicom uses to3d internally to do the job.
Now I understand that the slice timing info must be either:
1) inferred somehow by Dimon and passed to to3d as tpattern
or
2) inferred by to3d itself if FROM_IMAGE is given as tpattern
Could you explain how does Dimon or to3d infer the tpattern from raw dicom files? Is it somewhere in the dicom header? Is the inference reliable?
BTW, we use Siemens scanner, if relevant.
Thank you.
