Synopsis
In recent years, low-field scanners have proven their potential for clinical, preclinical, research and teaching applications. However, a critical milestone is yet to be achieved on the path to affordable, high-performance MRI systems: the availability of an inexpensive, versatile electronic control system (MR console), competitive with commercial spectrometers, but without dramatically increasing the overall scanner cost. In this work we show the status of MaRCoS (MAgnetic Resonance COntrol System), an open-source MR console and software package with powerful features, that offers higher versatility than many commercial spectrometers, and show its use in several MR setups, including in vivo acquisitions.
