Reproducibility Made Easy: A Tool for Methodological Transparency and Efficient Standardized Reporting based on the proposed MRSinMRS Consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Recent expert consensus publications have highlighted the issue of poor reproducibility in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) studies, mainly due to the lack of standardized reporting criteria, which affects their clinical applicability. To combat this, guidelines for minimum reporting standards (MRSinMRS) were introduced to aid journal editors and reviewers in ensuring the comprehensive documentation of essential MRS study parameters. Despite these efforts, the implementation of MRSinMRS standards has been slow, attributed to the diverse nomenclature used by different vendors, the variety of raw MRS data formats, and the absence of appropriate software tools for identifying and reporting necessary parameters. To overcome this obstacle, we have developed the REproducibil
