The ‘BrkRaw’ is a python module designed to provide a comprehensive tool to access raw data acquired from Bruker Biospin preclinical MRI scanner. This module is also compatible with the zip compressed data to enable use of the archived data directly. The module is comprised of four components, including graphical user interface (GUI), command-line tools, high-level and low-level python APIs.
