So, it is likely that PAM50_label_spinal_levels.nii.gz is useful, because we are now getting the spinal levels from the rootlet segmentation.

My suggestion then, would be to do the same as we do for vertebral/disc levels, ie:

• we have one file for spinal levels (labeled segmentation)
• and one file for spinal level labels (one pixel per level)
