Open-Source Software Tools for MR Pulse Design, Simulation & Reconstruction
Weekend Course
ORGANIZERS: Michael Lustig, Tony Stoecker, Lawrence Wald
Sunday, 12 May 2019
| Room 710B |
08:00 - 16:00 |
Moderators: Daniel Gallichan, Valentina Taviani |
Skill Level: Basic to Advanced
Session Number: WE-21ABIn order to enable participants to actively follow the software demos in the afternoon, we will utilize Amazon AWS to launch remote machines that have the software installed, and connect to them. This requires an AWS account to be set up —PRIOR— to the course.
To get the most out of the course, we suggest that you follow the following instructions as soon as possible so you are familiar with the process.
• Instructions for Mac OSX, and Windows 10 (pdf)
• Windows 7/8: Install Putty (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html)
Special instructions for packages:
• Pulseq: Please install X2GO (https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php)
• GPILab: please install a VNC client (RealVNC for Windows https://www.realvnc.com) Detailed instructions at: http://gpilab.com/2019/05/ismrm-demo-primer/
**IMPORTANT**
Please note that running a remote AWS machine is not free, and amazon will charge your account for usage. The cost would not be more than a few USD (<5$) for the duration of the demo. Make sure to turn off all the instances at the end of the demo.

Overview
In this weekend educational course, we overview available open-source software tools developed to facilitate MR research. The software packages will be described during the morning lectures, and hands-on training with the packages will occur in the afternoon.
Target Audience
Attendees interested in learning about the breadth of sequence, simulation, and recon tools available for MR practitioners.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:

Designing Reusable Software Components for Computational MRI
Video Permission Withheld
Martin Uecker
Computational techniques play an important part in the development of new methods for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Based on our experience developing software for computational MRI, this talk will explain how to develop reusable software components that preserve our scientific knowledge in a reproducible, useful, and sustainable way.

Usinig cloud computing for exploration and scale
Eric Jonas
The rise of “cloud computing” offerings has enabled many recent advances in data science, simulation, and data analytics. Current cloud providers offer a previously-unimaginable combination of scale, storage, and compute capabilities but it can be difficult for a newcomer to navigate the ecosystem. This tutorial session is targeted at developers and users who have not used cloud computing infrastructure before, or have only recently started experimenting. I will outline the offerings from the various providers, compare and contrast their capabilities, and show how they can enable rapid experimentation and analysis at very low cost. I will highlight several open-source projects, developed by my research group and others, to make this onboarding process easier. I will point out some common pitfalls from migrating existing workloads to the cloud, and suggest means of avoiding them.
