Gannet: the paper

As papers go, it was a struggle, but I am delighted to say that the official peer-reviewed reference for Gannet is now in press at Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.  I will update this as things progress, but with teh current astronomical lag at JMRI that won't be soon.  For now, if you use Gannet, please reference:

Gannet: a batch-processing tool for the quantitative analysis of GABA-edited MRS spectra
RAE Edden, NAJ Puts, AD Harris, PB Barker and CJ Evans, J Magn Reson Imag, DOI: 10.1002/jmri.24478.

*********************************************************************************
UPDATE: The paper is now available in Early View at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmri.24478/pdf

And as our reviewer very graciously suggested:

Plan it, Scan it, Gannet.

2nd Cardiff International Symposium on GABA MRS

I would like to thank the speakers, organising committee and all attendees for making the symposium such a successful event.  The quality and breadth of the presentations was particularly impressive.  Several people have remarked upon the positive and collaborative atmosphere and the excellent interchange between "technical and "applications" people - thank you all.

Next steps that I have taken away:

• re-contacting presenters to ask about making presentations available.
• setting up a jiscmail-type list for exchange of ideas.
• doing it all again in a couple of years.

Once again, the scedule can be found here.

Gannet at ISMRM 2013

Finally, there is an abstract number to cite for Gannet: Proc. ISMRM 2013, 2041.  I am really hoping putting the poster together will energize me to write the paper.

The current draft version of the poster is here.  If you want to drop by, it is Thursday 10:30.
