The scout is a short, low resolution scan used by the scanner operator
to set the field of view for later scans; it is not use ful.
The SpinEcho looks like it is part of a functional or diffusion sequence
to perform B0 distortion correction (so not used in the anatomical analysis)
I don't know what the Phoenix nii is. I think phoenix is a way to put
dicom files back onto the scanner. I don't know why there would be a nii
associated with it.

I have a rookie question regarding free surfer after going through the
excellent course onyoutube
First time I know the free surfer does the reconstruction on the
anatomical scan (eg., T1t1_mprage_sag_p2_iso.nii)
I see 3 other files in my data that were never used in the tutorials
(SpinEchoFieldMap_AP/PA.nii,
AHead_Scout_32ch-head-coil.nii,Phoenix_Document.nii). I am wondering
when they were needed. I read about them just never saw them used.
Thanks,
