MRtrix3: A fast, flexible and open software framework for medical image processing and visualisation
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
MRtrix3 is an open-source, cross-platform software package for medical image processing, analysis and visualisation, with a particular emphasis on the investigation of the brain using diffusion MRI. It is implemented using a fast, modular and flexible general-purpose code framework for image data access and manipulation, enabling efficient development of new applications, whilst retaining high computational performance and a consistent command-line interface between applications. In this article, we provide a high-level overview of the features of the MRtrix3 framework and general-purpose image processing applications provided with the software.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
MRtrix3 is an open-source, cross-platform C++11/OpenGL software framework for medical image processing, analysis and visualisation, with a particular emphasis on diffusion MRI. The paper is a high-level overview of its architecture, guiding principles, viewer (MRView), bundled command-line tools, and a benchmark of a typical multi-shell dMRI pipeline.
Key findings
- MRtrix3 provides a modular, general-purpose image access and multi-threading framework with a consistent command-line interface; it is released under the Mozilla Public Licence 2.0, version-controlled with Git, and includes continuous integration testing.
- The framework supports native reading/writing of DICOM (read-only), Analyze, NIfTI1, NIfTI2, MGH and its own formats, with arbitrary data strides (only its own formats support arbitrary stride ordering) and automatic history tracking in output file headers.
- Bundled tools span basic image operations (mrinfo, mrconvert, mrcat, mrcalc, mrmath, mrstats) and dMRI analyses including MP-PCA denoising, Gibbs ringing removal, DTI, single- and multi-tissue CSD, deterministic/probabilistic/global tractography, ACT, SIFT/SIFT2, and fixel-based analysis.
- Benchmark: a full pipeline from raw DICOM through pre-processing to 1 million probabilistic streamlines took 52 minutes total on an Intel i7-4930K (6 cores, 3.40 GHz), 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 780; the largest single step was distortion/eddy correction via FSL (32m59s), followed by tckgen (7m33s) and 5ttgen (7m29s).
Methods
- Design/description paper: the authors present the guiding principles, software architecture (image access, strides, DICOM handling, Unix pipes, ThreadedLoop and run_queue multi-threading APIs, build system, Python scripting library) and the MRView visualisation tool.
- Runtime benchmark used the B.A.T.M.A.N. tutorial dataset: Siemens Prisma 3T, 64-channel head coil, structural T1 (1 mm isotropic, 160 slices, 5 min) plus multi-shell dMRI (2.5 mm isotropic, b = 0/1000/2000/3000 s/mm² with 15/17/31/50 volumes, 17 min acquisition), processed on the desktop system described above.
- No formal validation study, accuracy comparison, or user study is reported; the paper is a software overview with an illustrative timing table.
Limitations
- The paper states no explicit limitations; it instead lists future directions (continued high-performance method implementations, broader adoption and tutorials, and encouraging C++ library use beyond diffusion MRI).
- Evident from the text: the runtime benchmark is a single dataset on a single hardware configuration, so timings are illustrative rather than a general performance characterisation; no accuracy or correctness evaluation against alternative packages is presented; and the software's historical focus remains diffusion MRI despite the general-purpose API.

The Results table (Available BIDS Apps; page not provided) lists an MRtrix3 connectome app for diffusion-weighted imaging, supporting the point that MRtrix3 is represented among BIDS Apps. It does not describe MRtrix3 importing or exporting gradient encoding or other metadata in JSON or BIDS bvec/bval format; searches for those terms found no such passage. (LLM, conf=0.87)

“MRtrix3 also offers image analysis methods less specific to dMRI such as image filtering and calculation, statistics, image denoising (Veraart et al., 2016) and Gibbs ringing suppression (Kellner et al., 2016) , intensity normalisation (Raffelt et al., 2017a) and diffeomorphic image registration (Raffelt et al., 2011) .”

What the sources say
- Supportedcites Veraart et al., 2016 source
The citation is attached to “image denoising,” not to the other listed methods. The Results (section 3) describe applying the paper’s proposed denoising method to dMRI images, so the source identifies the denoising method cited in the MRtrix3 list. (LLM, conf=0.91)
- Supportedcites Kellner et al., 2016 source
The Kellner et al. citation is attached specifically to “Gibbs ringing suppression,” not to the other MRtrix3 capabilities in the sentence. The Conclusions describe a method that effectively removes ringing artifacts, supporting that identification; the source need not document MRtrix3’s implementation to support the method citation.

In the paper
“Computer hardware generally performs best when data are processed in the order they appear on file (or in memory): this avoids seek latency when reading from disk, allows burst transfers to and from the main system memory, leverages the CPU's cache prefetching engine, and maximises usage of each line of the on-board CPU cache.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-24, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-24 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
