A framework for validating open-source pulse sequences.
Vendor-neutral sequences and fully transparent workflows improve inter-vendor reproducibility of quantitative MRI
TLDR
The significant reduction of inter-vendor variability using vendor-neutral sequences has important implications for qMRI research and for the reliability of multicenter clinical trials.
qMRI-BIDS: An extension to the brain imaging data structure for quantitative magnetic resonance imaging data
TLDR
The BIDS Extension Proposal 001 (BEP001) is presented, which adds a range of quantitative MRI (qMRI) applications to the BIDS, and envision standardization of qMRI which makes multicenter dissemination of interoperable data possible.
Improving magnetic resonance imaging with smart and thin metasurfaces
TLDR
A thin, smart, non-linear metamaterial is presented that enhances the imaging performance and increases the signal-to-noise ratio in 3T MRI significantly (up to eightfold), whilst the transmit field is not affected due to self-detuning and, thus, patient safety is also assured.

TLDR
Based on the principles of echo imaging, a method is proposed to acquire sufficient data for a 256 × 256 image in from 2 to 40s, and the signal amplitudes of structures with long T2 are nearly the same as those in a conventional 2D FT experiment.
