DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The MIDAS (Metabolic Imaging Data Analysis System) software package provides comprehensive and unique functionality for processing, display, and analysis of MR Spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data, and includes close integration with information available from structural and other parametric MRI modalities. This system supports a volumetric echo- planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) acquisition that provides high-resolution images of a wide extent of the brain, including cortical surface regions, which has been implemented on MR instruments from three major manufacturers. The EPSI and MIDAS software have been distributed to multiple sites worldwide. Under four specific aims this project will maintain and develop new functionality for these packages. Aim 1 will add new spectroscopy and image processing functions, which will include capabilities for volumetric mapping of brain temperature, metabolite T2, and parametric changes between studies. Aim 2 will improve performance, software organization, and maintainability by refactoring historically diverse pieces of code under a common programming environment. Aim 3 will support the EPSI acquisition through future system upgrades and add new capabilities to the data acquisition methods. Aim 4 will continue development of user documentation, educational materials, and the project web site, and make available data acquired under previous projects. Through these aims this project will provide continued support and development for a highly innovative suite of functions that facilitate clinical and basic biomedical imaging research studies using MRI and MRSI.

描述（由申请人提供）：MIDAS（代谢成像数据分析系统）软件软件包为MR Spectroscic Imaging（MRSI）数据提供了全面且独特的功能参数MRI模式。该系统支持体积的回声光谱成像（EPSI）采集，该采集提供了大脑广泛的高分辨率图像，包括皮质表面区域，包括皮质表面区域，该图像已在三家主要制造商的MR仪器上实施。 EPSI和MIDAS软件已分发给全球多个站点。在四个特定目标下，该项目将维护和开发这些软件包的新功能。 AIM 1将添加新的光谱和图像处理功能，其中包括大脑温度，代谢物T2的体积映射的功能以及研究之间的参数变化。 AIM 2通过在共同的编程环境下重构历史上不同的代码来改善性能，软件组织和可维护性。 AIM 3将通过未来的系统升级来支持EPSI采集，并为数据采集方法添加新功能。 AIM 4将继续开发用户文档，教育材料和项目网站，并在先前的项目下获得可用的数据。通过这些目标，该项目将为高度创新的功能提供持续的支持和开发，这些功能促进了使用MRI和MRSI的临床和基本生物医学成像研究。
