Thank you for your question to the ADNI MRI Core.

We apologize for the difficulty you are experiencing.


A good portion of the information you are inquiring about can be extracted from the DICOM headers of the images themselves. (Such as which scanner is used, the order of the images, b-values, etc. etc,...)

We have also provided some of this DTI scan information under previous user questions submitted to this board as well.

Below is the information on the DTI sequence itself that can also be found here: http://adni.loni.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ADNI2_GE_3T_22.0_T2.pdf
