IRM-TR is a project initiated by INRIA, CEA (French Atomic Energy Commission), INSERM (French national institute of health and medical research) and NEUROSPIN.
It is intended to be used in the medical field and more specifically for neuroscience research.
It is a computing architecture used for real-time processing of data supplied by an MRI scanner. Doctors can use it, for example, to change MRI acquisition parameters (e.g. repetition time between two excitations and the echo time, etc.) according to information provided by the scanner. Doctors will therefore be able to use this software to analyze a patient's brain in real-time.
IRM-TR both speeds up the diagnostic carried out by the doctor and reduces examination time.
