Benefits and Features:

• Variety of magnetization preparations options to create a different contrasts
• Implemented Look-Locker approaches to collect T1, T1rho, B1 etc. maps in one shot
• The fitting program integrated with reconstruction creates the maps automatically after the data acquisition
• FMRI protocol optimized based on MB-SWIFT
• The package is used by different groups at CMRR and outside of UMN. Feedback from these groups allows continuous optimization and modification of the product.
  
  

Phase of Development:

• Software package is ready for use on Bruker MRI scanners
• The SWIFT method is written for ParaVision 360 v 3.5
• The integrated reconstruction software implemented on C/C++ using OpenVnmrJ environment
