AMIRE
Improving MRI quality without overly restrictive standardization - the AMIRE (Animal MrI standaRdization initiativE)
1. Aims
1.1 Project #1:
Retrospective, automated MRI quality control (QC) to exclude bad quality data automatically from a large pool of small animal datasets (T1, T2, diffusion, fMRI) acquired in different international MRI labs/core facilities. Developed software: AIDAqc
1.2 Project #2:
Representative standard phantom measurements according to harmonized protocols to prove the importance of quality assurance (QA) procedures in each MRI lab as the basis for multicenter studies and cross-lab comparisons.

3. Collaborative model
(Adapted from Joanes Grandjean, Awake study)
Next to the MRI laboratories previously invited via Email/Twitter/Personal communication at conferences, every laboratory can participate with at least 20 measurements (see 4. Data specification and management).
The collaborative model and authorship criteria are as follows:
Every contributing laboratory can nominate any number of collaborators who contributed to the dataset (e.g., acquisition, funding, management, etc.). This can be split between junior and senior collaborators. The AIDAqc team (see 5. Contact) led by Markus Aswendt (MA) will put the dataset collection together and perform the primary analysis. Every collaborator is invited to further contribute to the manuscript preparation, serve as an AIDAqc beta tester, and provide feedback on the code/algorithms.
For both projects, one publication is planned, for which the author list will be as follows: juniors with an extra contribution, [junior collaborators in alphabetical order], [senior collaborators in alphabetical order], seniors with an extra contribution. MA reserves the right to nominate the first and last authors.
4. Data specification and management
What kind of small animal MRI data are suitable? Any T1/2-weighted, diffusion, fMRI datasets from small animals (rodents, rabbits, etc.) are interesting for our use case. It should be noted that the purpose of the tool is to find bad-quality data. Therefore, it would be optimal if you also provide the data that you may have already sorted out so that we can test whether AIDAqc is able to identify them. Please provide the complete Bruker raw data folder for each measurement (containing the 1-n scan folders and all metadata files necessary to extract image information) OR converted into NiFTY format.
What will happen with my data? We will screen your data and will try to extract as much information as possible automatically from the files. We will get back to you if more information is needed. If your data is used in the AIDAqc publication, you agree to make the dataset publicly available under the GNU General Public License v3.0.
Where will the data be stored and processed later? We will transfer the data from the upload locations and store the data locally at our workstation and use automated backups of the University Hospital Cologne IT department. All file operations and data processing will be tracked using DataLad to allow full transparency and FAIR data handling. After the analysis is finished, datasets which have been collectively identified as necessary for the publication will be made publicly available on GIN G-Node.
How can I withdraw my consent to data use? Send an Email to MA (markus.aswendt@uk-koeln.de). We guarantee that only the data you have NOT excluded and which have been collectively identified as necessary for the publications will be made publicly available as an AIDAqc sample dataset.

| Description | MRI is a valuable tool for studying brain structure and function in animal and clinical studies. With the growth of public MRI repositories, access to data has finally become easier. However, filtering large data sets for potential poor quality outliers can be a challenge. We present AIDAqc, a machine learning-assisted automated Python-based command-line tool for the quality assessment of small animal MRI data. Quality control features include signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), temporal SNR, and motion. All features are automatically calculated and no regions of interest are needed. Automated outlier detection is based on the combination of interquartile range and the machine learning methods one-class support vector machine, isolation forest, local outlier factor, and elliptic envelope. AIDAqc was challenged in a large heterogeneous dataset collected from 18 international laboratories, including data from mice, rats, rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils, obtained with different hardware and at different field strengths. The results show that the manual inter-rater variability (mean Fleiss Kappa score 0.17) is high when identifying poor quality data. A direct comparison of AIDAqc results therefore showed only low to moderate concordance. In a manual post-hoc validation of AIDAqc output, agreement was high (>70%). The outlier data can have a significant impact on further post-processing, as shown in representative functional and structural connectivity analysis. In summary, this pipeline optimized for small animal MRI provides researchers with a valuable tool to efficiently and effectively assess the quality of their MRI data, which is essential for improved reliability and reproducibility. |
