Vascular Space Occupancy (VASO) is a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) method that is used for high-resolution cortical layer-specific imaging\citep{Huber2021a}. Currently, the most popular sequence for VASO at modern SIEMENS scanners is the one by \textcite{Stirnberg2021a} from the DZNE in Bonn, which is employed at more than 30 research labs worldwide. This sequence concomitantly acquires fMRI BOLD and blood volume signals. In the SIEMENS' reconstruction pipeline, these two complementary fMRI contrasts are mixed together within the same time series, making the outputs counter-intuitive for users. Specifically: | ||

\begin{itemize} | ||
\item The \'raw\' NIfTI converted time-series are not BIDS compatible (see \url{https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/1001}). | ||
\item The `raw' NIfTI converted time-series are not BIDS compatible (see \url{https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/1001}). | ||
|
||
\item The order of odd and even BOLD and VASO image TRs is unprincipled, making the ordering dependent on the specific implementation of NIfTI converters. | ||

Workarounds with 3D distortion correction, results in interpolation artifacts. Alternative workarounds without MOSAIC decorators result in unnecessarily large data sizes. | ||

In the previous Brainhack\citep{Gau2021}, we extended the existing 3D-MOSAIC functor that was previously developed by Benedikt Poser and Philipp Ehses. This functor had been previously used to sort volumes of images by dimensions of echo-times, by RF-channels, and by magnitude and phase signals. In this Brainhack, we successfully extended and validated this functor to also support the dimensionality of SETs (that is representing BOLD and VASO contrast). | ||

We are happy to share the compiled SIEMENS ICE (Image Calculation Environment) functor that does this sorting. Current VASO users, who want to upgrade their reconstruction pipeline to get the MOSAIC sorting feature too, can reach out to Renzo Huber ([email protected]) or R\"udiger Stirnberg ([email protected]). | ||

Furthermore, Remi Gau, generated a template dataset that exemplifies how one could to store layer-fMRI VASO data. This includes all the meta data for ‘raw’ and ‘derivatives’. Link to this VASO fMRI BIDS demo: \url{https://gin.g-node.org/RemiGau/ds003216/src/bids_demo}. | ||
