Key result
TOMATO is an open-source C++ library that enables transparent and standardized cardiac longitudinal relaxation time (T1) mapping for clinical applications and research environments.
Why the study?
There was a need for transparent and standardised cardiac T1 mapping in clinical applications that can interface between research software environments and commercial vendors' closed-source environments.
TOMATO offers an open-source, standardized tool for cardiac MRI T1 mapping that can interface with both research and commercial environments.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May facilitate standardized cardiac T1 mapping; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
TOMATO (Total Mapping Toolbox) is a C++ library for the calculation of parametric maps in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As an open source project, TOMATO allows transparent and standardised cardiac longitudinal relaxation time (T1) mapping in clinical applications. With C++ implementation, TOMATO can easily interface and translate between research software environments and commercial vendors’ closed-source C++ environments on scanners as well as post-processing software. To complement the core library implementation, a ready-to-use command line tool has been provided.
