 Philips XML header files, and some previous experience, suggest that the REC
 data is always stored as 8 or 16 bit unsigned integers - see

+Data Sorting
+############
+
+PAR/REC files have a large number of potential image dimensions.  To handle
+sorting of volumes in PAR/REC files based on these fields and not the order
+slices first appear in the PAR file, the ``strict_sort`` flag of
+``nibabel.load`` (or ``parrec.load``) should be set to ``True``.  The fields
+that are taken into account during sorting are:
+
+    - image_type_mr  (Re, Im, Mag, Phase)
+    - dynamic scan number
+    - label type  (ASL tag vs. control)
+    - diffusion b value number
+    - gradient orientation number
+    - cardiac phase number
+    - echo number
+    - slice number
+
+If the image data has more than 4 dimensions these will all be concatenated
+along the 4th dimension.  The``get_volume_labels`` method of the header returns
+a dictionary containing the PAR field labels for this 4th dimension.
