Welcome to the codeare wiki!

This is the first real attempt to document the work done thus far on this ambitious project. The final goal is to establish a common reconstruction framework that could be easily plugged into the image reconstruction environments of any MRI system. Obvious prerequisite is that the machine offers some kind of API to connect to the image reconstruction.

The general idea has been that an n-dimensional matrix template is offered along with a considerable set of tools to operate on it that has the added value of integrating the vendor specific code needed to connect to the data acquisition stream during actual measurement. With the tools that come with the matrix one should be able to code reconstruction or data exchange into running acquisitions focussing on the physics and the math rather than becoming an expert programmer for the one specific vendor.

Apart from that and as one of the major driving forces for getting involved in this work, network integration for the matrix template has been incorporated. That is to say that any matrix can be easily exchanged between the image reconstruction machine and any kind of external hardware, where a CORBA implementation can be found, in a transparent fashion.

This project was started for Siemens' ICE (Image Calculation Environment) at that time at version VB17A. The initial tests of performance and function in general were conducted on a Tim Trio 3T MRI device.
