This PR updates MRIScan to better reflect the BIDS standards for MRI. The included changes would normally be breaking, but MRIScan has not been used yet in the metadata.

  • MRIScan.scan_index -> index, better description
  • MRIScan.setup added, True for positioning/shim sequences, false for data sequences that will be used for analysis
  • MRIScan.primary_scan removed
  • MRIScan.scan_type -> mr_acquisition_type, restricted to "2D/3D" to match BIDS standard
  • MRIScan.scan_sequence_type -> pulse_sequence_type, to match BIDS standard
  • MRIScan.scan_coordinate_system -> scanner_coordinate_system
  • MRIScan.scan_affine_transform -> affine_transform
  • _unit fields default to S to match BIDS standard
  • Example updated
  • Docs updated
