DeliCS Testing Data + DL Checkpoints - SPI-TGAS-MRF+GRE

This data set consists of raw MRI k-space data from 3 healthy volunteers (train_case000, test_case000, and test_case001) and 3 patients (test_case002, test_case003, and test_case004). The data were acquired on a 3T Premier MRI scanners (GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI) with 48-channel head receiver-coils. The raw data was saved as numpy-arrays to remove any potentially identifying meta-data, and to work in the reconstruction pipeline presented in [1]. 

Each case tarball contains three files: raw_mrf.npy, gre_mrf.npy, noise.npy

SPI-TGAS-MRF (files named raw_mrf.npy):

The acquisition consists of an initial adiabatic inversion pulse followed by a 500 TR long readout train (TI/TE/TR = 20/0.7/12ms) with varying flip angles (10 to 75 degrees) and a rotating 3D center-out spiral trajectory. 48 repeats of the TR train are used for a 6 min acquisition. Details available in [2]. The data shape is: (2000, 48, 24000) = (data along spiral readout, number of receive channels, number of spirals across 500 TR's and 48 repeats)

GRE (files named raw_gre.npy):

A 20 second, low resolution (6.9 mm isotropic) gradient echo (GRE) pre-scan with a large FOV of 440x440x440mm^3. The data shape is: (64, 48, 4096) = (data along readout, number of receive channels, number of phase encode lines (64x64))

Noise estimation (files named noise.npy):

Data from a noise scan acquired using all receive channels to calculate the noise coherence matrix. The data shape is: (48, 4096) = (number of receive channels, noise measurement points)

Finally, checkpoints.tar.gz contains the pre-trained weights used for the deliCS network.
