Elementary characterization for Galois groups of $x^{12}+a{x}^6+b$

Let $f(x)=x^{12}+a{x}^6+b\in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial, $g_4(x)=x^4+a{x}^2+b$, $g_6(x)=x^6+a{x}^3+b$, and let $G_4$ and $G_6$ be the Galois group of $g_4(x)$ and $g_6(x)$, respectively. Building upon known characterizations of $G_4$ and $G_6$ in the literature, this paper provides an elementary characterization of all sixteen possible Galois groups of $f(x)$. In particular, we show that the Galois group of $f(x)$ can be uniquely determined by the pair $(G_4,G_6)$ along with testing whether at most two expressions involving $a$ and $b$ are rational squares.
