[ENH] Add noRF and n/a ASL volume types

[tsalo]

Closes #1762, but does not fully describe control-like "dummy" scans.

Changes proposed:

• Allow noRF and n/a as allowed volume_type values in aslcontext files.
• Allow noRF as a suffix for perfusion data.
• Allow echo and part entities for _asl and _m0scan files.

It would be nice if we could get an example with noRF in bids-examples.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any data acquired with the HCP-Aging protocol. @aptinis would you happen to have any data from that protocol that could be shared openly as a BIDS example?

I'll check if I can get permission to share an example.

[tsalo]

@aptinis have you had any luck with the example data?

@aptinis have you had any luck with the example data?

Yes, I was able to get permission to share an example. I will deface and BIDS format it. Where/how is the best way to share?

[tsalo]

@Remi-Gau knows the most about the BIDS examples, so maybe he knows how best to share the dataset.

[effigies]

I would put the raw (ish) dataset on OSF or gin. If it's an actual dataset and not dummy data, then it would also be reasonable to post to OpenNeuro. Then you write a script to generate an example from the original; any changes to the original can then get propagated to the example with minimal effort.

What @effigies said.

[effigies]

@aptinis Just a note that an example is a blocking precondition to merging this. If we don't get it in this week, it will need to wait for a future version of the spec.

[aptinis]

@effigies Sorry for the delay. It is a real dataset with a single subject that has the 2D MB Multi-delay PCASL sequence of interest. It also has a 3D GRASE Multi-delay PCASL scan, a T1w and corresponding fmaps. I've started by creating a project for it on OSF, I am just working on fixing the BIDS validation before uploading. At the moment it passes with the old BIDS Validator v1.14.8 but fails with the latest schema version. Does the example need to pass the schema version of BIDS validation in order to be added to BIDS examples?

[effigies]

Please go ahead and create a PR and we can help figure out any issues.

Sigh. I posted that comment on the wrong PR. I've pushed my suggested fix to this branch and will rerun the examples PR once this RTD build completes.
