Abstract

In the years 1982–1984 we have designed and built a software system for the quantitative processing, analysis and display of magnetic resonance 2D and 3D images and timeseries of images. This system supports two research projects in our university, “NMR in Oncology”, and “MRI Processing and Simulation Studies”.
