The only way you could get that info if it was input at  the console when the subject was scanned
Is this a dicom file or an "old" siemens ima file? If an old ima, then you can try mri_probe_ima. If a dicom, you can try mri_probedicom. If a dicom, there are lots of dicom header readers that may give you more info.

Hello,

I am trying to read the header information of some .ima files.
Is there a function similar to mri_head that will also display more detailed information
such as the subject's date of birth?

Below is the output I got from the mri_head command on a particular ima file.

Thank you.


Best,
Lisa Akiyama
