Table 3.

(a) An example reference protocol, and (b,c) compliance report for a toy neuroimaging dataset. Note that the reference protocol can either be pre-defined or inferred by searching for most frequent values for each parameter. The toy dataset has 7 modalities across 5 subjects. Subjects sub-566 and sub-879 are non-compliant w.r.t Pixel Bandwidth and Phase Encoding Direction respectively. For gradient-echo (GRE) modality, subject sub-566 has a non-compliant pixel bandwidth for sessions 6-10
