Especially for development and testing of new reconstruction and post processing algorithms, the Matlab environment became a popular choice in the MRI community. However, the visualization and comparison of multidimensional complex MRI data arrays is still rather uncomfortable with standard Matlab routines. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a freely available tool which has been designed specifically for MRI data analysis. This e-poster gives a quick tour through the concepts and features of the tool and, therewith, offers practical solutions to some common MRI data visualization problems in Matlab.
