readasc¶

Reads Siemens ASC ASCII-formatted text files and returns a MATLAB structure containing the data. Handles files that may be split into two parts (e.g., ####.asc and ####_GSWD_SAFETY.asc), merging the data from both if found.

Syntax¶

function [asc, extra] = readasc(filePathBasic)

Calling Pattern¶

mr.Siemens.readasc(...)

Parameters¶

Required Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description	Example	Units
`filePathBasic`	string	The base path and filename of the Siemens ASC file (e.g., 'path/to/file.asc'). The function will automatically check for a corresponding '_GSWD_SAFETY' file if it exists.	`'path/to/my_scan.asc'`

Returns¶

Output	Type	Description
`asc`	struct	A MATLAB structure containing the data read from the ASC file(s). Field names and values correspond to the parameters defined in the ASC file.
`extra`	struct	This output is currently not used by the provided code excerpt. It might be used for additional extracted information in the full function implementation.

Examples¶

myAsc = mr.Siemens.readasc('path/to/my_scan.asc');
[prot, yaps] = mr.Siemens.readasc('path/to/another_scan.asc');
