The output of the simulation framework is provided in ISMRMRD and PET interfile raw data format and can be directly used in a range of available reconstruction packages. The reconstructed PET and MR images of the simulated data were compared to an in-vivo patient scan demonstrating that the simulation framework yields realistic data.}, url = {https://www.ismrm.org/smrt/19m/} }
