A common raw data format is a prerequisite for sharing
MR image reconstruction algorithms and code, and is a
necessary component of reproducible research. Ideally,
this common format would be vendor neutral, and would
capture the data fields needed to describe the details
of the MR experiment so as to permit image
reconstruction from the raw data. We propose the ISMRM
Raw Data (ISMRMRD) format, which is described by an XML
schema and several C-style structs. We demonstrate an
implementation using HDF5 files for storage, along with
C++, Python, MATLAB, and JAVA libraries for reading and
writing ISMRMRD files.
