Computer Number: 1
1958. Design and evaluation of an educational MRI simulator (eduMRIsim)
S. Gonzalez Riedel, A. Raaijmakers, M. Breeuwer
Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands
Impact: The new open-source MRI simulator, eduMRIsim, mimics a clinical scanner allowing students to experimentally explore scan parameter effects on image appearance. Positive feedback from educators affirms its potential as a valuable education tool for the next generation of MRI researchers.
Computer Number: 2
1959. Accelerated GVE File Parsing for Philips MRI Sequences Using Julia
J. Kloiber, A. Jaffray, C. Graf, A. Rauscher
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Impact: Long load times of MRI sequences can significantly slow down simulation and reconstruction projects. The proposed Julia module provides a fast and accurate solution that can easily be integrated into other projects.
Computer Number: 3
1960. Software package distribution of slicewise motion correction tool (SLOMOCO) for fMRI pre-processing
W. Shin, P. Taylor, R. Reynolds, M. Lowe
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, United States
Impact: The SLOMOCO software is publicly available. We demonstrate its usage, and the performance is validated with 10 different inter-/intra-volume motion corrupted MR datasets using ex-vivo brain. 
Computer Number: 4
1961. Modular and Open-Source Interactive Real-Time MRI
P. Schaten, N. Scholand, D. Mackner, M. Blumenthal, M. Uecker
Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria
Impact: We present a comprehensive interactive real-time MRI framework built from modular, open-source components and geared towards interventional MRI to facilitate the use of interactive real-time MRI in clinical applications.
Computer Number: 5
1962. Enabling Neurodesk workflows on the scanner console
M. Xu, S. Bollmann, S. Stefan, D. Nanz, P. Pullens, K. Pine, K. Chow, R. Schneider, T. Wuerfl, M. Barth, D. Guellmar
The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Impact: By enabling seamless integration of Neurodesk containers directly on the MRI scanner console, this work simplifies imaging pipeline deployment, reduces data analysis delays, and allows rapid image analysis ultimately supporting broader accessibility and clinical translation of advanced image processing pipelines.
Computer Number: 6
1963. Generic looping in KSFoundation: a programming abstraction for rapid prototyping of pulse sequences
E. Avventi, H. Ryden, A. Van Niekerk, O. Norbeck, S. Schauman, S. Skare
Karolinska university hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Impact: The abstractions presented in this study has been incorporated in the latest version of KSFoundation that was recently released and is available on request [3]. 
Computer Number: 7
1964. MRtwin: an open-source Python package to create virtual qMRI phantoms for benchmark and synthetic data generation
M. Cencini, M. Lancione, L. Biagi, A. Retico, M. Tosetti
INFN, Pisa Division, Pisa, Italy
Impact: MRTwin represents a useful tool for sequence design,  reconstruction optimization and benchmarking, by providing a framework for the generation of digital twins for quantitative imaging.
Computer Number: 8
1965. Python-Based Console for Research/Metrology MRI Scanners
S. Russek, K. Stupic, K. Keenan, S. Ogier, E. Buchanan, E. Emery
NIST, Boulder, United States
Impact: The open Python console wrapper will allow easier development of new pulse sequences, assessment of MRI-measurement biases, better integration of the scanner with other required hardware, and provide a simple path to Python-based image processing. 
Computer Number: 9
1966. DeepPlanner4Cardio: an automatic multi-view planning tool for CMR
J. Santos, P. Osório, M. Henningsson, R. Nunes, T. Correia
Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal
Impact: DeepPlanner4Cardio effectively supports CMR operators by providing an accessible, automated solution to enable fast and reproducible cardiac view planning, demonstrating great potential to be applied in a clinical setting.
Computer Number: 10
1967. In vivo T1-mapping using Open-MOLLI in GE scanners
A. Gaspar, P. Hughes, J-F Nielsen, N. Stewart, J. Wild, T. Correia, R. Nunes
Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal
Impact: The open-source myocardial T1 mapping (Open-MOLLI) was successfully adapted and tested on a GE Signa 3T PET-MR scanner.  The sequence is now ready to be applied in inter-scanner reproducibility brain studies. Triggering will be added next for cardiac applications.
Computer Number: 11
1968. SpinSight – An educational open-source MRI simulator with joint visualization of pulse sequence, k-space, and MR image
J. Berglund, K. Jain, J. Sousa, K. Hedman, M. Fahlström
Medical Physics, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden
Impact: An open-source browser-based educational MRI simulator was developed that  jointly visualizes four levels of the imaging process: acquisition parameters, pulse sequence, k-space, and the MR image. Low latency enables students to explore the interaction between these levels in real time.
Computer Number: 12
1969. MR Sequence Utility for Portable Imaging and Abstraction Layers (Marsupial) – an MR Sequence Programming Framework written in Nim
A. Petrovic, R. Bammer
Monash Health, Melbourne, Australia
Impact: Marsupial will enable development of platform-independent open-source MRI sequences. Nim’s concise syntax and Marsupial’s design will considerably speed up the development process, making more sequences readily available to the research community.
Computer Number: 13
1970. A fast Pytorch based GRAPPA implementation for uniformly undersampled k-space
Y. Bu, Z. Wang, J. Li, Y. Liu, M. Lyu
