Dear Craig,

I cannot comment on dcm2nii and I am not too familiar with private DICOM
tags but, yes, this should correspond to the slice times in ms to enter
in the 'Slice order' entry of SPM12 slice timing correction.

See the help for that option:

(MosaicRefAcqTimes is private tag (0019, 1029))

Best regards,
Guillaume.
