Historically, dcm2niix reported PhaseEncodingDirection for 2D sequences, as this information is commonly used to undistort 2D EPI images. However, these values were ignored for 3D sequences for two reasons: 1) dcm2niix will losslessly rotate 3D sequences as T1 (MP-RAGE) and T2 (SPACE) scans are often acquired as sagittal while 2D scans are acquired as axials (and slice timing does not impact 3D scans). 2.) Structural 3D scans have less spatial distortion that 2D EPI scans.
However, 3D EPI is becoming more common, so reporting these values may be useful. Particular care must be taken if the image is rotated, such that the reported axis is correctly reported.
