Keywords: Software Tools, Data Acquisition, Workflow; Pulseq
Motivation: Vendor-provided image reconstruction is seen by researchers as a black box and is oftentimes restrictive with regard to supporting novel acquisition strategies or including cutting edge third-party software libraries.
Goal(s): To implement an open-source data acquisition, reconstruction, and post-processing pipeline.
Approach: We combine vendor-neutral sequence programming in Pulseq with vendor's “Open Recon” environment.
Results: We demonstrate the functionality of raw-data-to-complex-image and image-to-image Open Recon containers for four Pulseq sequences: GRE, GRE with GRAPPA, TSE and multi-echo spin echo.
Impact: We demonstrate a successful integration of Pulseq with Open Recon, thereby establishing an open-source, flexible, and reproducible workflow for data acquisition, reconstruction, and post-processing, and validate this workflow with four example sequences.
