Accelerating Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by acquiring fewer measurements has the potential to reduce medical costs, minimize stress to patients and make MR imaging possible in applications where it is currently prohibitively slow or expensive.
fastMRI is a collaborative research project from Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and NYU Langone Health to investigate the use of AI to make MRI scans faster. NYU Langone Health has released fully anonymized knee and brain MRI datasets that can be downloaded from the fastMRI dataset page. Publications associated with the fastMRI project can be found at the end of this README.
This repository contains convenient PyTorch data loaders, subsampling functions, evaluation metrics, and reference implementations of simple baseline methods. It also contains implementations for methods in some of the publications of the fastMRI project.
There are multiple publications describing different subcomponents of the data (e.g., brain vs. knee) and associated baselines. All of the fastMRI data can be downloaded from the fastMRI dataset page.

For code documentation, most functions and classes have accompanying docstrings
that you can access via the help function in IPython. For example:
from fastmri.data import SliceDataset
help(SliceDataset)Note: Contributions to the code are continuously tested via GitHub actions.
If you encounter an issue, the best first thing to do is to try to match the
tests environment in setup.cfg, e.g., pip install --editable ".[tests]"
when installing from source.
Note: As documented in Issue 215,
there is currently a memory leak when using h5py installed from pip and
converting to a torch.Tensor. To avoid the leak, you need to use h5py with
a version of HDF5 before 1.12.1. As of February 16, 2022, the conda version
of h5py 3.6.0 used HDF5 1.10.6, which avoids the leak.
First install PyTorch according to the directions at the PyTorch Website for your operating system and CUDA setup. Then, run
pip install fastmripip will handle all package dependencies. After this you should be able to
run most of the code in the repository.
If you want to install directly from the GitHub source, clone the repository,
navigate to the fastmri root directory and run
pip install -e .The repository is centered around the fastmri module. The following breaks
down the basic structure:
fastmri: Contains a number of basic tools for complex number math, coil
combinations, etc.
fastmri.data: Contains data utility functions from originaldatafolder that can be used to create sampling masks and submission files.fastmri.models: Contains reconstruction models, such as the U-Net and VarNet.fastmri.pl_modules: PyTorch Lightning modules for data loading, training, and logging.
The fastmri_examples and banding_removal folders include code for
reproducibility. The baseline models were used in the arXiv paper.
A brief summary of implementions based on papers with links to code follows. For completeness we also mention work on active acquisition, which is hosted in another repository.

Prostate Data
Run pytest tests. By default integration tests that use the fastMRI data are
skipped. If you would like to run these tests, set SKIP_INTEGRATIONS to
False in the conftest.
The data README has a bare-bones example for how to load data and incorporate data transforms. This jupyter notebook contains a simple tutorial explaining how to get started working with the data.
Please look at this U-Net demo script for an example of how to train a model using the PyTorch Lightning framework.
NOTICE: As documented in Discussion 293, the fastmri.org domain was transferred from Meta ownership to NYU ownership on 2023-04-17, and NYU has not yet rebuilt the site. Until the site and leaderbaords are rebuilt by NYU, leaderboards will be unavailable. Mitigations are presented in Discussion 293.
