A software program for exchanging MR data.
In an MR multicenter project, data exchange is a problem because most MR scanners do not use the same data format or have data export facilities. In the COMAC-BME Concerted Action on Tissue Characterization by MRS and MRI, a subgroup of seven MR centers had a need for data exchange in the form of digital MR images of the human brain. Because there was no common data format, software package was developed for data exchange. This article describes the basic features of the developed software. The software package was written in the language of C and was successfully tested on an IBM-6150 UNIX workstation. The software is currently being tested on the following series of UNIX workstations: SUN SPARC, IBM RS6000, and HP 9000/700.
