TotalReadoutTime and PhaseEncodingDirection

[ta4218]

Hello,

I am working with Clinica 0.7.7, Python 3.10. My OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 (Ootpa). When running the following dwi_preprocessing pipeline, the program crashes with the attached error.
clinica run dwi-preprocessing-using-t1 $EPHEMERAL/ADNI234_2/adni_bids_centered $EPHEMERAL/ADNI234_2/adni_caps_final -tsv $EPHEMERAL/ADNI234_2/missing_modalities_dwi/batches_dwi_updated/dwi_session_batch_0.tsv --n_procs 128 -wd $EPHEMERAL

- TotalReadoutTime
- PhaseEncodingDirection

I have attempted to remove images that cause this error-- but each time it crashes with a new image. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Looking into this error, it seems that there is a problem with images from Philips scans. The referenced json files do not have a TotalReadoutTime or PhaseEncodingDirection.

Best,
Tom
