Abstract
The availability of a benchtop magnetic resonance image spectrometer (from PureDevices) makes it possible to obtain 3D MRI data of small objects, including insects. The instrument from PureDevices is controlled by MATLAB software, and the resulting images are viewed in custom software for the device. The data is in a format particular to the instrument. However, most medical imaging data is in the DICOM format, and that format is required to view the data in a free program called ChimeraX. That program also allows users to view the data within a VR headset such as the Meta Quest 2. The goal of this project is to create a workflow or script that converts the PureDevices MRI data into DICOM format and view that data within a VR headset.
