The SAIN (Small Animal Imaging Network), which brings together scientists involved in small animal imaging at the national level, organizes Advanced Seminars in Small Animal In Vivo Imaging (SAIPAs). SAIPAs consist of a series of webinars.
The next one will be on the theme of:
“Advanced tools for developing MRI image acquisition sequences.”
It will take place in French on October 11 & 19, 2022.
The target audience consists of students and researchers involved in projects based on small animal imaging and interested in advanced techniques for acquiring these images.
The SAIPAs have multiple objectives:
- promote and disseminate the expertise of SAIN group members
- train researchers in advanced techniques in the field of in vivo imaging of small animals
- raise participants’ awareness of data and tool sharing in this field (compliance with the 3Rs policy, open data, traceability of treatments).
SAIPAs benefit from the FLI-IAM infrastructure for data management and pipeline execution.

○ ppg debug ihMT 1u .res (LSO)
○ no comments allowed on ppg after #include
○ dealing with the “java screen of death” (DG)
○ killing the simulation -> kill + hpdisp
○ simulations -> PV writes an xml file somewhere for each simulation -> HDD full
Hours: 1.5 days (October 11 and 19, 2022)
Equipment: if possible, access to a system running PV5, 6, 7, or 360
Prérequis : Ce webinaire s’adresse aux personnes ayant déjà suivi la formation Bruker sur le développement de séquence et désirant apprendre à utiliser des méthodes et outils permettant de mieux programmer (meilleur ré-utilisabilité des codes, facilitation de la recherche des bugs, implémentation d’outils de traitement, éviter certains pièges conceptuels …).
