ScanHub is intended to be a multi modal acquisition software, which allows individualizable, modular and cloud-based processing of functional and anatomical medical images. It seamlessly merges the acquisition with the processing of complex data on a single platform. ScanHub is open-source and freely availably to anyone 🌍.
The greatest novalty of ScanHub is the cross-manufacturer and multi-modality aspect, allowing accessible cloud-based data processing in one framework 🚀
Currently we are focussing on the development of an acquisition solution for the open-source MRI OSI2One.
ScanHub represents the backbone of our acquisition platform. In parallel we are working on a web-based frontend ➡️ scanhub-ui.
We welcome anyone who would like to join our mission, just get in touch 📧.
To install the package, you need install Docker first. The installation of ScanHub-UI is as simple as using the following command.
docker-compose up -d --build

The advent of cloud computing has enabled a new era of innovation, and ScanHub is at the forefront of leveraging this technology for the benefit of the MRI community. By shifting image reconstruction, processing, and storage from on-site infrastructure to the cloud, ScanHub offers a myriad of advantages over traditional MRI consoles:
- Open-source transparency: ScanHub's open-source nature fosters transparency and collaboration within the MRI community, encouraging the development of a unified standard and preventing the fragmentation caused by proprietary black-box solutions. This approach enables researchers and developers to build upon each other's work, accelerating innovation and improving the overall quality of MRI solutions.
- Cost-efficiency: ScanHub eliminates the need for expensive on-site hardware and software, reducing both upfront investments and ongoing maintenance costs. This allows institutions of all sizes to access advanced MRI processing capabilities without breaking the budget.
- Scalability and flexibility: The cloud-based nature of ScanHub enables seamless scaling of resources as needed, allowing users to easily accommodate fluctuations in demand or expand their capabilities. Furthermore, ScanHub's platform-agnostic design allows for the integration of custom processing algorithms and third-party solutions, promoting innovation and avoiding vendor lock-in.
- Efficient resource utilization: ScanHub's centralized resource management ensures optimal allocation and utilization of resources across multiple projects and users, preventing bottlenecks and maximizing efficiency.
- Enhanced collaboration and data sharing: ScanHub's cloud-based infrastructure facilitates easy data sharing and collaboration among teams and institutions, enabling researchers to pool resources and insights to accelerate the development of new diagnostic techniques and treatments.
- Security and compliance: ScanHub's cloud platform adheres to stringent data security protocols and compliance requirements, ensuring that sensitive patient data remains protected and confidential.
