A common raw data format is a prerequisite for sharing
MR image reconstruction algorithms and code, and is a
necessary component of reproducible research. Ideally,
this common format would be vendor neutral, and would
capture the data fields needed to describe the details
of the MR experiment so as to permit image
reconstruction from the raw data. We propose the ISMRM
Raw Data (ISMRMRD) format, which is described by an XML
schema and several C-style structs. We demonstrate an
implementation using HDF5 files for storage, along with
C++, Python, MATLAB, and JAVA libraries for reading and
writing ISMRMRD files.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
