Reproducibility is increasingly recognized as a key prerequisite for wider adoption of perfusion MRI in clinical practice, drug development, and basic science. To improve reproducibility and increase harmonization in MRI perfusion, the ISMRM Perfusion Study Group (SG) launched a community-led initiative to promote open science for perfusion imaging (OSIPI)1-3 (https://osipi.ismrm.org). As the results of the first roadmap are appearing in print, we describe here the road to OSIPI and the grass-roots experience that we anticipate will make OSIPI a sustainable initiative of the SG in the long term.
