Some email addresses cannot be reached ([email protected]), we try to correct them, but some of them are more difficult to guess. For other, it might also be a security rule from your mail server. If you haven't received the instruction by email and most importantly the Slack invitation within a few day. Please contact us gadgetron2020 at sciencesconf dot org
During June 2020 we will host the “GadgetronOnlineClass”. Although initially scheduled to take place in Bordeaux as a Summer School, the COVID-19 situation made that impossible. We are instead hosting it online.
This course is aimed at both new and experienced users of Gadgetron, covering basic reconstruction as well as the latest functionalities. The topics covered are intended for researchers in basic science and/or clinical research. The online course will also provide examples of how to use the vendor-agnostic MRD file format (formerly “ISMRMRD”) for your custom reconstructions.
The Gadgetron Online Course is made of several modules that constitute together the scientific stack. Gadgetron made use of standard computing languages (C++, Cmake, CUDA, Python, Matlab) that are themselve calling hundreds of libraries/packages/functions. We won't cover everything in this short course, but you should get enough information to decide if your research can benefit from Gadgetron. And I bet it will likely do.
For any questions, feel to contact us on the forum of Gagdetron or at gadgetron2020 /at/ sciencesconf.org
Organizers: David Hansen, Kristoffer Knudsen, Hui Xue, Oliver Josephs, Vinai Roopchansingh, John Derbyshire, Adrienne Campbell, Rajiv Ramasawmy, Aurélien Trotier, Stanislas Rapacchi, Maxime Yon, Pierre Bour, Valéry Ozenne
Please follow the registration link. Registration is free. We will use the platform dedicated to the initial summer school for the registration process and email communication. Otherwise please refer to the GitHub website GadgetronOnlineClass. Thanks for your comprehension.
Note that the time are defined in the Central European Summer Time (CEST) zone.

To achieve good interaction between lecturers and participants - and especially tutors and participants in the work in progress sessions - we highly recommand to read the preparation list.
Preparation list for speakers is available here.
Preparation list for participants here.
All information will be written in a README file in each directories. Additionnal contents like data, codes, powerpoint will be uploaded or indicated in the material folder for each lecture

Since all participants are working at home on their own computer, we asked the participants to test their MRD and Gadgetron installation in advance. Detailed installation instructions has been summarized here.
Feel free to contact us and to post any inquiries on the gadegtron forum
To follow along on your own computers with the live demonstrations and coding sessions, the data for most of those can be found here
If you prefer to search the dataset by its DOI on Zenodo, it is: 10.5281/zenodo.3888658
The final link these data can be accessed at, which should bring you back to the same dataset, is https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3888658
This file should have a checksum of: 361e2dccec2949c4914414dada6d2b5dd841aff4 computed using 'shasum' on macOS and openSUSE.
This lecture does not attempt to be comprehensive and cover every single feature, or even every commonly used feature. Instead, it introduces many of Gadgetron's most noteworthy features, and will give you a good idea of Gadgetron's capability and usage.

This lecture is a Practical Introduction to Gadgetron. It takes a very hand-on approach to getting started with Gadgetron, aimed at giving new users the information they need to assemble and run their own reconstructions using Gadgetron.
This lecture will cover starting and running Gadgetron, controlling Gadgetron behaviour through configuration files, and provide a sensible introduction to a handful of very common Gadgets.

The primary goal of this lecture introduces the python gadget and the ismsmrd-python-toolboxes that contains various toolboxes dedicated to common issues. Its different submodules correspond to different applications, such as fourier transfrom, grappa reconstruction, etc.

2. MRD, a vendor-agnostic file format for MRI reconstruction (or toward the scanner room) (day 2: June 18th)
This lesson introduces the ISMSMRD format

2.2 - Siemens/GE/Bruker raw data conversion to MRD through XML style sheets, and working with HDF5 files
This session discusses how the conversion process in ISMRMRD utilizes style sheets to convert the vendors' proprietary formats and data values to the fully and openly documented ISMRMRD format. There will also be an interactive demonstration of working with HDF5 files in a Jupyter notebook environment with Python 3.

This course servers an introduction to the IceGadgetron software. The main functinality of IceGadgetron is to stream siemens MR kspace data to MRD formant and send data to Gadgetron. As Gadgetron reconstructed images and send images back to scanner, IceGadgetron will receive the images and pass them down the functor chain. In this way, the inline processing is achieved, which allows seamless integration of Gadgetron to MR scanner and be used by non-technical users.
