I have another question about the spin echo images, hopefully this will be my 
last question!

It turns out that we've been collecting our spin echo images with the "Invert 
RO/PE Polarity" option selected, which apparently inverts the phase encoding 
direction 180deg, but does not record this to the DICOM header. We've been 
collecting the EPI images without this inversion.
So, for our data:
EPI is A>>P
"A>>P" SE is actually P>>A
"P>>A" SE is actually A>>P

Would we be able to use the spin echo correction if we simply switched the 
positive and negative images? So, would this work for our data?
TaskList="task1"
PhaseEncodeList="y-"
...
SpinEchoPositiveImage="the P>>A labeled image (actually acquired A>>P)"
SpinEchoNegativeImage="the A>>P labeled image (actually acquired P>>A)"
