The following tools are useful for accurately gathering data in a clinical setting:
-
B0 and Eddy Current Correction Code for Diffusion MRI – Software tool (executable plus code) and recommendations for acquisition protocols to correct distortions in diffusion MR images generated by main magnetic field inhomogeneities and eddy currents.
-
DTI Gradient Table Creator – DTI Gradient Table Creator computes the correct gradient table (i.e., the list of vectors that describe the diffusion weighting directions to use for analysis) for DTI acquisitions on Philips MRI scanners.
-
EPrime Phase II – These are E-prime programs for presenting stimuli to, collecting responses, and analyzing behavior from subjects. They measure a range of cognitive processes and were used by the FBIRN sites in collecting the multi-site Phase II data of 2004-2005.
-
Eprime Programs from Function BIRN Phase I Traveling Subjects – Employed during the FBIRN traveling subjects’ study of 2003, this is a Function-BIRN led study to standardize and calibrate imaging data for multi-site MRI studies by examining the brains of five subjects at nine different scanning sites across America.
-
Function BIRN Stability Phantom QA Procedures – Used to verify and measure the scanner stability during a typical fMRI scanning sequence during routine quality assurance scans.
-
Gradient non-linearity distortion correction – The goal of this software is to provide a 3D correction of image distortions in MRI data due to non-linearity of the magnetic fields from the imaging gradient coils.
