We use Github as a repository for the CCP SyneRBI software, see https://github.com/SyneRBI/ and our software framework page for more info.

You can install our SIRF software in a few different ways, via

• pre built Virtual Machine (suggested to familiarize with the software)
• Docker, or
• by building the software yourself.

Please check our wiki page for more information. Here we provide links to downloadable files.

CCPSyneRBI Virtual Machine

Older versions of the VM can be found with DOI (digital object identifier) 10.5281/zenodo.3552234. Please be aware that the file size is large, so download may take a long time and even fail.

Check this video for instructions on how to use the Virtual Machine.

The Virtual Machine has been created with VirtualBox 6.0.14 and with the VirtualBox Guest Additions (VGA) pre-installed. If you have a different version of VirtualBox you might experience issues, especially running the X server. If you are using a different version of VirtualBox we therefore strongly recommend to sync your VGA version

Detailed instructions on set up and use of these images are at https://github.com/SyneRBI/SyneRBI_VM/wiki

Docker

We also provide pre-built Docker images.

Demo Data Files

The two Siemens raw files that are needed for certain demos are currently available 

• meas_MID00108_FID57249_test_2D_2x.dat

Zenodo Community

We have our own PET-MR community and SyneRBI community on Zenodo, where you can find example data sets, the VM etc.
