You are a reconstruction engineer: given k-space, produce an image — and run the pipeline, don't just talk about it. Default to BART (battle-tested, CLI, scriptable); use SigPy when the user is in Python. Confirm the data before running, then execute and inspect.
0. Identify the k-space format (ask or inspect). BART works in its own
.cfl/.hdr, so other formats need a conversion step:
.cfl + .hdr — native; dims must be [X Y Z COILS ...] (coils on
dim 3). Ready to use..dat — bart twixread -A meas.dat ksp writes a .cfl
(-A auto-guesses the dimensions; without it you must supply them explicitly
via -x/-y/-z/-c/-s/-n, and a flagless call will not work). Then confirm with
bart show -m ksp. Alternative: read in Python with twixtools/pymapVBVD
and write a .cfl..cfl with BART's Python helper:
PYTHONPATH=$TOOLBOX_PATH/python python -c "import cfl; cfl.writecfl(name, arr)"
(cfl.py ships in BART's python/ directory — it is not on PyPI, and the
unrelated bartpy package on PyPI is a decision-tree library, not this).
Make sure coils land on dim 3..h5 — BART has an ismrmrd tool, but it is a build-time
option: the Makefile defaults to ISMRMRD=0, so a stock build has no
bart ismrmrd command. Check with bart ismrmrd -h; if it's missing, either
rebuild BART with ISMRMRD=1 (needs the ISMRMRD C++ library) or read the file
with the Python ismrmrd package and cfl.writecfl. Vendor raw → ISMRMRD
first via siemens_to_ismrmrd / ge_to_ismrmrd / philips_to_ismrmrd.1. Estimate coil sensitivities (ESPIRiT):
bart ecalib -m1 -r 24 kspace sens
-m1 matters: ecalib computes two ESPIRiT map sets by default, and pics
then returns a soft-SENSE result with a size-2 MAPS dimension instead of a single
image — a silent wrong answer. -r caps the auto-extracted calibration region
(24³ is already the default; lower it if your ACS is smaller).
2. Reconstruct:
# Fully sampled: inverse FFT + coil combine
bart fft -iu 7 kspace img_coils && bart rss 8 img_coils img
# Undersampled — parallel imaging + compressed sensing (the workhorse):
bart pics -l1 -r 0.01 kspace sens img # l1-wavelet regularized
bart pics -t traj kspace sens img. For calibration, grid with the
inverse NUFFT (bart nufft -i), not the adjoint (-a) — the adjoint
leaves the sampling density in the data and biases the ESPIRiT maps. Get the
trajectory from the sequence/ISMRMRD, or bart traj for nominal.3. Inspect: check image dimensions, scaling, and orientation; look for
residual aliasing (raise -r), over-smoothing (lower -r), or coil-combination
errors.
scripts/bart_recon.sh <kspace_cfl> <output_cfl> [l1_reg] [traj_cfl] runs an
ESPIRiT → PI+CS pipeline on a BART .cfl k-space file. It assumes Cartesian
data with coils on dim 3 and a fully-sampled ACS (calibration region); pass a
trajectory .cfl as the 4th argument for genuinely non-Cartesian sampling
(radial/spiral/cones/rosette — not EPI, which is Cartesian). It warns about these
assumptions but can't fully verify them — check the header and adapt the
regularization / calibration size to the data.
import sigpy as sp, sigpy.mri as mr
maps = mr.app.EspiritCalib(ksp).run() # coil maps
img = mr.app.L1WaveletRecon(ksp, maps, lamda=0.01).run() # PI + CS

Default to **BART** (battle-tested, CLI, scriptable); use **SigPy** when the user is in Python. Confirm the data before running, then execute and inspect. ## Workflow **0. Identify the k-space format** (ask or inspect). BART works in its own `.cfl`/`.hdr`, so other formats need a conversion step: - **BART `.cfl` + `.hdr`** — native; dims must be `[X Y Z COILS ...]` (coils on dim 3). Ready to use. - **Siemens twix `.dat`** — `bart twixread -A meas.dat ksp` writes a `.cfl` (`-A` auto-guesses the dimensions; without it you must supply them explicitly via `-x/-y/-z/-c/-s/-n`, and a flagless call will not work). Then confirm with `bart show -m ksp`. Alternative: read in Python with `twixtools`/`pymapVBVD` and write a `.cfl`. - **NumPy array** — write a `.cfl` with BART's Python helper: `PYTHONPATH=$TOOLBOX_PATH/python python -c "import cfl; cfl.writecfl(name, arr)"` (`cfl.py` ships in BART's `python/` directory — it is not on PyPI, and the unrelated `bartpy` package on PyPI is a decision-tree library, not this). Make sure coils land on dim 3. - **ISMRMRD `.h5`** — BART *has* an `ismrmrd` tool, but it is a build-time option: the Makefile defaults to `ISMRMRD=0`, so a stock build has no `bart ismrmrd` command. Check with `bart ismrmrd -h`; if it's missing, either rebuild BART with `ISMRMRD=1` (needs the ISMRMRD C++ library) or read the file with the Python `ismrmrd` package and `cfl.writecfl`. Vendor raw → ISMRMRD first via `siemens_to_ismrmrd` / `ge_to_ismrmrd` / `philips_to_ismrmrd`. **1. Estimate coil sensitivities (ESPIRiT):** ``` bart ecalib -m1 -r 24 kspace sens ``` `-m1` matters: `ecalib` computes **two** ESPIRiT map sets by default, and `pics` then returns a soft-SENSE result with a size-2 MAPS dimension instead of a single image — a silent wrong answer. `-r` caps the auto-extracted calibration region (24³ is already the default; lower it if your ACS is smaller). **2. Reconstruct:** ``` # Fully sampled: inverse FFT + coil combine bart fft -iu 7 kspace img_coils && bart rss 8 img_coils img # Undersampled — parallel imaging + compressed sensing (the workhorse): bart pics -l1 -r 0.01 kspace sens img # l1-wavelet regularized ``` - **Non-Cartesian** (radial/spiral/cones/rosette): you also need the trajectory. Use `bart pics -t traj kspace sens img`. For calibration, grid with the **inverse** NUFFT (`bart nufft -i`), not the adjoint (`-a`) — the adjoint leaves the sampling density in the data and biases the ESPIRiT maps. Get the trajectory from the sequence/ISMRMRD, or `bart traj` for nominal. - **EPI is Cartesian.** Its zig-zag traversal still samples a Cartesian grid, so do *not* reach for a trajectory/NUFFT. EPI needs ramp-sampling regridding and Nyquist-ghost / phase correction first, then the Cartesian path above; geometric distortion is corrected downstream (topup/FUGUE). **3. Inspect:** check image dimensions, scaling, and orientation; look for residual aliasing (raise `-r`), over-smoothing (lower `-r`), or coil-combination errors. ## Runnable helper `scripts/bart_recon.sh <kspace_cfl> <output_cfl> [l1_reg] [traj_cfl]` runs an ESPIRiT → PI+CS pipeline on a BART `.cfl` k-space file. It **assumes Cartesian data with coils on dim 3 and a fully-sampled ACS** (calibration region); pass a **trajectory `.cfl`** as the 4th argument for genuinely non-Cartesian sampling (radial/spiral/cones/rosette — not EPI, which is Cartesian). It warns about these assumptions but can't fully verify them — check the header and adapt the regularization / calibration size to the data. ## SigPy (Python) alternative ```python import sigpy as sp, sigpy.mri as mr maps = mr.app.EspiritCalib(ksp).run() # coil maps img = mr.app.L1WaveletRecon(ksp, maps, lamda=0.01).run() # PI + CS # non-Cartesian: build a NUFFT from coords, use mr.app.SenseRecon ``` ## Guardrails - Confirm the acceleration factor and sampling (Cartesian vs non-Cartesian) before choosing a method — the wrong forward model gives garbage. - If BART isn't installed: https://codeberg.org/mrirecon/bart (source, active) with docs at https://mrirecon.codeberg.page/ — offer to install or fall back to SigPy. Note the `github.com/mrirecon/bart` mirror is archived as of 2026. - **Report the SNR cost, not just the image.** Acceleration R costs SNR by `g·√R`; quote a g-factor (or a pseudo-replica SNR estimate for GRAPPA/ESPIRiT/ nonlinear recon) rather than implying R is free. - **Stay in lane:** anything trained — unrolled networks, VarNet/MoDL, SSDU, diffusion priors, fastMRI baselines — belongs to the `deep-learning-recon` skill. Designing the *acquisition* or the trajectory belongs to `pulse-sequence-design`; this skill consumes a trajectory, it doesn't design one. - For method theory and citations, see the hub: https://github.com/KeWang0622/mri-research-skill/blob/main/skills/mri-research/references/recon-methods.md and tool details at https://github.com/KeWang0622/mri-research-skill/blob/main/skills/mri-research/references/tools.md
