MRI Multiphasic Series
Introduction
If an MRI series contains a mixture of images with different echoes and temporal positions, Synapse can group the series into multiple distinct series. Synapse uses the following DICOM tags to group MR images into the appropriate series:
|
Attribute Name |
Tag |
Type |
Attribute Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Echo Number |
(0018,0086) |
3 |
Synapse uses this DICOM tag to separate images into unique series according to the tag value. For example, Synapse groups all images with the tag value of 1 into a series. |
|
Temporal Position Identifier |
(0020,0100) |
3 |
MR Grouping Rules
Synapse uses the following rules sequentially to determine MR grouping:
- Group all images by series UID.
- Group each series UID group by echo number.
- Group each echo number group by the temporal position identifier.
Synapse sorts each group alphabetically using the series UID, echo number, and temporal position.
