Ongoing Community Projects

Big fMRS

Big fMRS Logo

  • Multi-site study aimed at better understanding the sources of variability in the fMRS signal
  • Led by Betina Ip, Paul Mullins, Anouk Schrantee

Synthetic MRS

Overview of Objectives and Goals

  • An effort to develop best practices and provide recommendations for creating synthetic spectra.
  • Led by Antonia Kaiser, John LaMaster, and Aaron Gudmundson

Reproducibility Made Easy

  • Several consensus papers by MRS experts have addressed data collection, analysis, and reporting standards. Despite this, the usage of the MRSinMRS standardized reporting criteria remain sparsely utilized, impeding research rigor and reproducibility. To overcome this, the ‘Reproducibility Made Easy’ software automates table population and methods section generation, streamlining the process with a single raw dataset, removing manual data entry.
  • Team includes Antonia Susjnar, Antonia Kaiser, Gianna Nossa, Dunja Simicic, and Aaron Gudmundson

1H-MRS VERI

 

1H-MRS VERI Logo

1H-MRS VERI (the Proton MRS Validation Effort Resource Initiative) is a community-driven platform for curating and sharing spectral data that can be used to quantitatively validate proton magnetic resonance spectral processing and quantification tools. Our ultimate aim is to foster empirical consensus recommendations for spectral processing and quantification based on measures of not only precision but also accuracy that involve some connection to ground truth.

  • Team: Kelley M. Swanberg, Helge Zöllner, Candace Fleischer, Jamie Near, John LaMaster, Antonia Kaiser, Georg Oeltzschner
