Motivation: MaRCoS integrates hardware, firmware, and software for MRI scanner control, focusing on system reliability but overlooking user experience.
Goal(s): Develop MaRGA (MaRCoS Graphical Application), a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for low-field MRI community, ensuring intuitive MaRCoS control and clinical environment compatibility.
Approach: Designed MaRGA with simplified panels and updated API, enabling features like DICOM image export, clinical protocol management, and streamlined image reconstructions.
Results: Tested MaRGA on 0.2 T and 72 mT scanners in lab and hospital settings, enhancing workflow efficiency and user satisfaction through customizable controls and improved overall experience.
Impact: The introduction of MaRGA, a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for low-field MRI scanner control, enhances user experience and workflow efficiency with MaRCoS. MaRGA significantly improves the operation of low-field MRI scanners in both laboratory and clinical settings.
