qMRLab is open-source software that provides a wide selection of quantitative MRI (qMRI) methods for data fitting, simulation and protocol optimization. Currently, most qMRI methods are developed in-house and are difficult to port across sites. Our vision for qMRLab is to build standardized workflows for these methods, beginning at the scanner console and extending all the way to journal publication. We developed a web portal (https://qmrlab.org) that includes interactive tutorials and Jupyter Notebooks running on BinderHub, tailored for qMRI methods. The last piece of this workflow puzzle is the integration of qMRLab on MR systems, by deploying it as a plugin on a custom MRI application development platform (e.g. RTHawk).

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.
