Reproducibility Made Easy: A Tool for Methodological Transparency and Efficient Standardized Reporting based on the proposed MRSinMRS Consensus

Abstract

A recent expert consensus found that non-standard reporting in MRS studies led to poor reproducibility. In order to address this, MRSinMRS guidelines were introduced; however, because of the disparate nomenclature and data formats, adoption has been slow. To get around this problem, REMY, a toolbox that supports major vendor formats, was created. By efficiently filling in important fields in the MRSinMRS table, it improves reproducibility. Even with certain hardware-related restrictions, REMY makes a substantial contribution to the completion of acquisition parameters, which facilitates reporting. Its compatibility and user-friendly interface should promote widespread adoption of MRSinMRS, raising the caliber of MRS research.
