[Teem-users] Suggested naming convention for dicom tag information in NRRD headers

[Caspar J. G. <cjg...@gm...>]

Hi all,

we are currently facing the requirement that users of our library want some
dicom tag information saved to the NRRD header when they convert their data.

I know that there is a naming convention for DWMRI data header information
we stick to so other tools can work with it. Is there a general convention
for other tags as well? So far I have not been able to find anything.

Any hints or suggestions are very much appreciated.

Best,
Caspar

More details for those interested:

We have not finalized which data we want to store, but it is probably going
to be a couple of dozen fields concerning sequence information and
acquisition parameters from official dicom tags as well as custom ones.
Additionally we will store information which is not saved in the dicom tags
at all but added at a later date.

While it would work for us to just use our own keys and be done with it, I
would prefer to stick to an established convention if possible.
