- Existing frameworks may lack the modularity needed for rapid development of advanced applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop modular solutions for interactive real-time MRI.
- To integrate new streaming protocols into the BART reconstruction toolkit.
Main Methods:
- A new protocol for streaming multidimensional arrays was developed and integrated into BART.
- Demonstrated functionality with radial FLASH MRI, incorporating iterative reconstruction, dynamic coil compression, and gradient-delay correction.
- Analyzed reconstruction latency and measured end-to-end imaging process latency.
Main Results:
