The acquisition times are not saved in the NIfTI headers, but you can read them from the original DICOM. You can read the DICOM headers via: P=spm_select(Inf,'.*','Select DICOM files'); H=spm_dicom_headers(P); Then you can see what's in them by (for example): H{1} To see all the dates and times, you could try this: for i=1:numel(H), fprintf('%s\t %d-%d-%d\t%s\n', ... H{i}.SeriesDescription,... H{i}.SeriesNumber,... H{i}.AcquisitionNumber,... H{i}.InstanceNumber,... datestr(H{i}.AcquisitionDate... + H{i}.AcquisitionTime/(24*60*60),0)) end Best regards, -John On 29 July 2014 05:40, Andy Yeung <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear all, > > I'd like to check the time of acquisition for each functional scan. > Is it available at header file after DICOM import into SPM8? > If so, how to open *.hdr files? > Thanks. > > Best, > Andy >
