WebMRIQC is a browser-based, open‑source platform that wraps the MRIQC engine to provide automated MRI image quality assessment without local installation. It handles DICOM‑to‑BIDS conversion, runs the containerized MRIQC pipeline on a shared compute node, and presents results in an interactive dashboard that benchmarks each scan against normative data. Validation on BraTS‑Africa and BraTS 2021 datasets shows strong agreement across thirteen image‑quality metrics, indicating that the web implementation can match native MRIQC performance.

VGG16-MCA UNet is a hybrid neural network that combines an ImageNet‑pretrained VGG16 encoder with a decoder enhanced by a Multi‑Channel Attention module, trained using Focal Tversky loss to address class imbalance. The model was evaluated as a 2‑D, FLAIR‑only whole‑tumor segmenter on BraTS 2020 and LGG datasets, achieving a pixel‑level Dice of 95.10 % on BraTS and 88.32 % on LGG in a 5‑fold cross‑validation setting. Inference time is 66.32 ms per 256×256 slice on a single RTX 2060, only slightly slower than a VGG16‑UNet without attention.
whyItMatters":"The study provides a reproducible 2‑D FLAIR baseline for whole‑tumor segmentation, demonstrating high Dice scores and detailed reporting of training and evaluation protocols."
