MRM Highlights
All Posts
Organized as a video podcast in collaboration with the ISMRM Reproducible Research Study Group (RRSG), the February 2022 MRM Highlights feature takes the form of a roundtable discussion. Members of the RRSG organizing committee spoke with Adrienne Campbell-Washburn from the National Institute of Health and Michael Hansen from Microsoft about the MR Raw Data format (MRD, aka ISMRMRD): how it was created, how it can be and has been used, and what you can do to help with the project. MRD, originally published in MRM (paper link), is an open-source (GitHub link) common raw data format that encapsulates all the information needed from an MRI experiment in order to reconstruct images from raw data.

00:00: Introduction
Great discussion, thank you for organizing it, RRSG!
We’re also big supporters of MRD, recently published a ultra-high field fMRI dataset with it, which contains sub-mm single shot spirals and magnetic field monitoring data.

MRD really gives the flexibility to include all that and accurately specify our custom setup.
