This federal Project Grant award of $477,360.00 from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), supports the development of PyPulseq, an open-source, vendor-neutral software tool for designing and sharing MRI pulse sequences. The key objectives of this 24-month project, which runs from August 2025 to July 2027, are to: 1) integrate and accelerate pre-scan safety checks related to specific absorption rate (SAR) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for PyPulseq, enabling users to input custom electromagnetic models; 2) make multi-vendor MRI scanning with the Pulseq file format more robust and efficient by refining the sequence specification and implementing a multi-vendor pulse sequence validator; and 3) promote best practices for validating and sharing Pulseq sequences, as well as disseminate PyPulseq advancements through tutorials and workshops. This project aims to make PyPulseq safer, more robust, and more reproducible, in support of accelerating the MRI development cycle through open-source, vendor-neutral tools.
