A platform independent infrastructure for real-time MRS/MRI data streaming, processing and storage

The dynamic flow of MR data from scanners to external computers during data acquisition is complicated by the hierarchical study/series organization of data acquisition and processing and by the variety of hardware, software and network infrastructures inherent to MR platforms. These and other issues slow application prototyping. We introduce a platform/OS independent software package, called RTView, that simplifies dynamic data transfer through the use of the Python programming language and standard network communication protocols known as XML-RPC. We demonstrate the use of the RTView platform for streaming real-time multinuclear 31P MR spectroscopy data off a 3T Siemens Trio.
