Impact: The
proposed automated adjustment-processing framework results
in a workflow for xenon lung MRI that mirrors that for
routine clinical proton MRI, increasing the accessibility of
hyperpolarized 129Xe
lung MRI and facilitating its translation into clinical use.

3191. Test-retest
reliability of magnetic resonance imaging data across the
Siemens VE11C to XA30 software upgrade
K. Jones, S. Noble, J. Gilbert, M. Yen, R. Welsh
University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, United States
Impact: We found no meaningful difference between MRI
datasets collected using the Siemens VE11C and XA30 software
packages. This evidence of consistency in longitudinal MRI
data across software lends validity to imaging studies that
are affected by unforeseen software upgrades.

3192. Inter-Scanner
Variability and Evaluation of T2-FLAIR Harmonization in
Alzheimer’s Neuroimaging
B. Ho, D. Kim, A. Kumar, S. Weiss, H. Vossler, A. Dreisbach,
D. Holley, M. Khalighi, E. Mormino, G. Zaharchuk
Stanford University, Stanford, United States
Impact: T2-FLAIR is an instrumental imaging sequence to
visualize gray-white matter contrast and white matter
abnormalities. However, inter-scanner variability may hinder
analysis involving multi-site imaging datasets. Thus, we
evaluated protocol changes that can improve harmonization of
T2-FLAIR images across scanners.

C. Forman, R. Schneider, M. Zaitsev
University Medical Center Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
Impact: Interpreter modules are instrumental for
executing open pulse sequences on a particular scanner. The
presented work paves a way towards reducing the effort
associated with their development and maintenance by
potentially reducing adaptations and tests for every scanner
software version.
