Which DICOM tag is most commonly used to store the image view name in cardiac mri?

Hello,
Does anyone know which DICOM tag is most commonly used to store the image view name (short axis, 2 chamber, 3 chamber, ...)?

Not sure how that works, MRI is 3D datasets, and those view names are from echo 2D views, from where the ultrasound transducer is pointed at the patient. I suppose you could rotate the MRI volume to get to something that looks like the 2D echo view on the screen, but the stack of DICOM MRI "slices" wouldn't be applicable to static 2D views. If some processing package has created static views from the volume dataset, that matches some echo view, then it's possible this would be a secondary capture and the view name probably in a private tag.

This really depends on the vendor, modality, protocol, etc., but I have seen most of them being stored in (0008,103E) Series Description and/or (0018,1030) Protocol Name.
You can try searching for "2CH", "3CH", "4CH", "SA", "CINE" inside either tags.
