Nexus: A versatile console for advanced low-field MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To develop a low-cost, high-performance, versatile, open-source console for low-field MRI applications that can integrate a multitude of different auxiliary sensors.

Methods

A new MR console was realized with four transmission and eight reception channels. The interface cards for signal transmission and reception are installed in PCI Express slots, allowing console integration in a commercial PC rack. Following standards developed by the MRI community, we implemented an open-source console software package with native Pulseq and ISMRM raw data support. It is implemented in Python to allow easy customization and provide the flexible use of a freely configurable number of transmit and receive channels. We benchmarked the system by comparing the imaging quality with a s
