Synopsis

Keywords: Software Tools, Software Tools, Compressed Sensing, Parallel Imaging, BART

Motivation: BART is a flexible toolbox for various high-dimensional MRI reconstruction tasks but is limited by a high peak-memory requirement.

Goal(s): Generically reduce the BART's peak-memory requirements for large-scale, high-dimensional reconstruction problems while maintaining its flexibility and allowing for distributed computing.

Approach: Implement a delayed execution and distributed computing backend for BART that transparently optimizes numeric operations in the background.

Results: Peak memory requirements are reduced multiple-fold for motion-resolved 5D cardiac MRI and motion-resolved cardiac T1-mapping.

Impact: BART is a versatile toolbox for MRI reconstruction that is widely used due to its flexibility and performance. It is now more memory-efficient and supports distributed computing on multiple GPUs and nodes, allowing researchers to explore even higher-dimensional datasets.
