#248 Can Bruker raw data be read directly by SIVIC?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I wanted to ask you if there was a way to read the raw data from Bruker, without having to transform it into a DICOM file. I need it to recontruct images of conventional CSI and EPSI sequences.

Thank you for any help you can provide,
Best regards,

David

Yes/no! It supports CSI and someone at the UCSF HMTRC is in the process of implementing EPSI support. However, this is all somewhat sequence dependent. The SIVIC data readers (both command line and built into the GUI) try to recognize the sequence, e.g. by PSD name and then map the Bruker input data to a standard MRS data structure for visualization/analysis. If the sequence isn't recognized, or it was developed in house there can be complications. Of course it's all open-source and can be extended/tweaked for your data.
