Robust, reproducible methods are paramount in neuroimaging. This is a challenge for leading-edge and novel techniques at 7T MRI, such as glutamate-weighted chemical exchange saturation transfer (GluCEST). As such, our primary objective is to move towards a robust and reproducible analytical pipeline for GluCEST imaging data. Here we show, using python-based neuroimaging tools, the development of GluCEST-prep. GluCEST-prep incorporates common neuroimaging analysis steps—brain extraction, tissue segmentation, co-registration and normalization—that are optimized for 7T MRI and uses python-based analysis—in place of in-house MATLAB scripts—to generate post-processed 2D or 3D GluCEST images in both native and template space.
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.
