If you use this tool in your analysis, please cite:
Joint super-resolution and synthesis of 1 mm isotropic MP-RAGE volumes from clinical MRI exams with scans of different orientation, resolution and contrast.

Since the robustness against MR contrast / orientation /resolution with a single model was not presented in the original SynthSR paper, we would also greatly appreciate it if you could please also cite:
SynthSeg: Domain Randomisation for Segmentation of Brain MRI Scans of any Contrast and Resolution. B Billot, DN Greve, O Puonti, A Thielscher, K Van Leemput, B Fischl, AV Dalca, JE Iglesias. Under revision.
This tool implements SynthSR, a convolutional neural network that turns a clinical MRI scan (or even CT scan!) of any orientation, resolution and contrast into 1 mm isotropic MP-RAGE. You can then run your favorite neuroimaging software on these synthetic images for segmentation / registration / any other analysis.
