The Open Source Initiative for Perfusion Imaging (OSIPI) was founded by the ISMRM Perfusion Study Group to support reproducible science and the reusability of data and methods.
Figure 3: OSIPI’s mission to support open perfusion science is done through the 6 aims as outlined here each with the associated task forces.
Figure 1: A word cloud of the comments (produced by wordart.com). Words such as “standard”, “evaluation”, “tested”, “validated” indicate a consensus that instead of another software platform, the community really needs perfusion to be benchmarked and standardized.
