[Freesurfer] Right and left on MRI scan and on images

External Email - Use Caution

Hello, I have an MRI sample collected on a Siemens Magnetom Spectra 3T scanner. However, we do not place any pointing devices inside the scanner to indicate which side is the right and which is the left. I was wondering how the images were acquired - from the front of the individuals, meaning that the left in the image is the right in the patient? Or otherwise? When processing the T1-weighted images on Freesurfer, I also have a doubt... the DICOM images are synchronized? Left in DICOM is left in the patient? And after freesurfer preprocessing? It flips the images or not?

Thank you very much!
