This flag provides two additional ways to retrieve TotalReadoutTime. If
EstimatedTotalReadoutTime
orEstimatedEffectiveEchoSpacing
are defined, the user can pass--fallback-total-readout-time estimated
to direct fMRIPrep to use these.This could be turned on by default, but I don't think this is prudent. The reason that
dcm2niix
does not simply sayTotalReadoutTime
orEffectiveEchoSpacing
is not to misrepresent the confidence that these are correct. Previously, users had to actively remove theEstimated
to accept the estimates, and I don't think we want to eliminate the conscious decision. However, we can make it so that users do not need to modify their datasets to accept them.Closes #3009.
