Overview

The WebGUI is designed for researchers and clinicians to:

• Configure and run SNR calculations.
• Upload and manage datasets.
• Visualize and analyze results.

---

Features

Settings Tab

• Select SNR calculation methods:
  • Array Combining (AC)
  • Multiple Replicas
  • Pseudo Multiple Replicas
  • Pseudo multiple Replicas Wien version
• Seleect reconstruciton methods:
  • Root Sum of Squares (RSS)
  • B1
  • SENSE
  • GRAPPA

Results Tab

• Monitor queued job statuses.
• Access previously computed results.
• Visualize and analyze results:
  • ROI selection.
  • Histogram visualizzation.
  • Exporting figures and data.

Interactive Visualizations

• Draw regions of interest (ROIs).
• Extract and export pixel-wise SNR values and statistics.

---

Technologies

The frontend is built with:

• React.js: Core framework for UI development.
• Material-UI: For modern, responsive components.
• Redux: State management for seamless user interaction.
• Axios: For API communication with the backend (Managing System).

Additional dependencies are included to support interactive plots and file uploads.
