QMRI-neuropipe: A flexible software framework for the analysis of quantitative MRI data

Quantitative MRI provides a unique opportunity to characterize the underlying tissue and establish measurements that canserve as biomarkers. However, many of these methods require specialized workflows and and tools which limit their broader adoption. Here, we present QMRI-neuropipe, an open-source, flexible framework that provides a wide selection of methods, algorithms, and tools for processing and analyzing multiple qMRI datatypes. QMRI-neuropipe supports the Brain Imaging Datset Standard (BIDS) and currently supports processing of diffusion and relaxometry datasets. Future developments will aim to incorporate alternative quantitative MRI methods (e.g. MT, QSM, etc.) into the QMRI-neuropipe framework.
