💖 NAME 💖

physio2tsv — bestie, this is the little command that slurps up your SIEMENS physio signals and hands you back a tidy TSV. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

physio2tsv [-h] physiofile tsvfile

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so basically physio2tsv reads and writes the active signals — and by active we mean the non-zero ones, the ones that actually showed up to the party 💅 — out of SIEMENS advanced physiological log/DICOM files.

This function expects to find either a combination of individual logfiles:

  • *_ECG.log
  • *_RESP.log
  • *_PULS.log
  • *_EXT.log
  • *_Info.log

...generated by >=R013 sequences — or a single encoded "_PHYSIO" DICOM file generated by >=R015 sequences. Pick your fighter, both are valid. ✨

🎀 physiofile

Either the fullpath of the DICOM file, or the base name of the PHYSIO logfiles. And what's a "base name" bestie? It's the fullpath without the suffix and the file extension, like 'foo/bar/Physio_DATE_TIME_UUID'. Yes that means you chop the extension off yourself, the command is not doing it for you. 😭

🦋 tsvfile

The fullpath of the BIDS filenames, e.g. 'foo/bids/sub-001/func/sub-001_physio'. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🌈
