Manually Saving Raw K-Space Data in Siemens
Manually Raw K-Space Data in Siemens
Ordinarily, raw k-space data is not saved when scanning on the Siemens
platform. To save the raw k-space data follow these steps.
Start "twix". From the Siemens console, hit ctrl-escape to bring up
the Windows Start Menu. Choose "Run". Enter "twix" (no quotes). This
will bring up a list of files. Each file will be named based on the
protocol name. Some will be tune-up files, others data files (data
files are generally bigger). Select the file or files you want. Right
click to bring up a pop up menu. Choose "Copy total RAID file". This
will bring up a window that will allow you to select the destination
(eg, C:/temp/username). You can also then paste it into a folder.
Transfer from the console to the network. From the Siemens console,
hit ctrl-escape and run "Secure Transfer Client". Hit "Quick
Connect". It can take a long time to do the transfer.
You can also start a DOS prompt (ctrl-escape, "cmd") and run "scp from
to && exit". This will automatically log you off when it is done.
Note: hit "Ctl-ESC" to bring up start menu.
Note: hit "Alt-Tab" to cycle thru the windows windows.
Physio files are located in
C:\MedCom\log\PhysioLog_YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS. Note the "T" is literal.
It is just there to separate the date from the time. Cardiac: white is
top medial, green is bottom medial, red is bottom lateral.
