Automated, open-source, vendor-independent quality assurance protocol based on the Pulseq framework
We successfully developed and implemented an open-source, vendor-independent QA protocol, accompanied by an automated post-processing pipeline. The results demonstrate the feasibility and repeatability of the protocol across different days, system versions, vendors, and sites.
