The aim of the open source imaging initiative (OSI²) is to collaboratively share research in MR technology and building a quality, affordable open source MR scanner. Combining innovation and open source (OS) approaches will generate global value by reproducible science and development and will allow a major reduction of investments and operational costs with the guiding principle: From the community, for the community. OSI² (www.opensourceimaging.org) was presented for the first time at the ISMRM 2016. Here we present an update and a roadmap towards the fulfillment of our vision.
