Hi @GHale,
Yes, the newer systems generate DICOM data with SOPClassUID of 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.2 MR Spectroscopy Storage
rather than the Siemens private 1.3.12.2.1107.5.9.1
. This is probably a good change for the long term as it brings various vendors into line with each other. However it is a pain when you’ve been used to the CSA headers. I have to admit I haven’t quite figured out the new structure as sometimes sequences seem to store pertinent information in PerFrameFunctionalGroupsSequence
and sometimes in SharedFunctionalGroupsSequence
tags.
You can try spec2nii which should handle this new format and give you a NIfTI-MRS file. You can then write a small script to convert from the nifti format into the LCModel raw format (see here for NIfTI I/O examples). Someone was talking about making a LCModel wrapper which loads NIfTI-MRS but I can’t remember who.
