SIVIC: Open-Source, Standards-Based Software for DICOM MR Spectroscopy Workflows

Figure 1

Multidimensional MRSI data visualization. (a) 4D brain MRSI data in SIVIC. Spectra from individual voxels are shown on the right. The left panel shows the spatial localization of each MRSI voxel on a reference anatomical image. The color overlay is a 3D metabolite map derived from spectral quantification of individual peaks. (b) 5D dynamic MRSI data. Metabolite peaks are derived from each point in a time series of 4D MRSI volumes. 3D dynamics of individual metabolites are represented by time curves in the bottom row for two different metabolites. The example at the bottom is from hyperpolarized MRSI of a rat.
