Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) along the acquisition and processing chain. Advanced AI frameworks have been applied in various successive tasks, such as image reconstruction, quantitative parameter map estimation, and image segmentation. However, existing frameworks are often designed to perform tasks independently of each other or are focused on specific models or single datasets, limiting generalization. This work introduces the Advanced Toolbox for Multitask Medical Imaging Consistency (ATOMMIC), a novel open-source toolbox that streamlines AI applications for accelerated MRI reconstruction and analysis. ATOMMIC implements several tasks using deep learning (DL) models and enables MultiTask Learning (MTL) to perform related tasks in an integrated manner, targeting generalization in the MRI domain.
