There is a DICOM field for Receiving Coil, but Siemens unfortunately doesn't populate that field. So, instead you can dig out the information using the following command on a Linux/Unix system: strings <image.dcm> | grep tCoilID If you look at the output of 'strings' (without the grep) you can find all kinds of useful information about the acquisition. cheers, -MH On Mon, 2011-03-14 at 07:37 -0400, Darren Gitelman wrote: > Does any one know if the identity of (or other information about) the head coil used during scanning is stored in the Dicom header? We are using a Siemens 3T Tim Trio and are trying to figure out if the 12 or 32 channel coil was used to acquire some older scans. > Thanks > -------------------- > Darren Gitelman, MD > Sent from my mobile. > > Office Ph: (312) 908-8614 > Fax: (312) 908-5073
