Task force 1.1: ASL software inventory
This task force aims to build an ASL software inventory aimed at end-users looking for a suitable tool to process their ASL images. The inventory lists available open-source and commercial tools, providing information that will help users select a suitable tool, such as scope of application, methodology, level of validation, license policy, transparency, user-friendliness, and reviews by other users. Currently, the task force is focusing on supporting pipeline developers in implementing new features and on helping users to use the pipelines.

Ongoing projects
This task force is currently expanding the ASL pipeline inventory by including more pipelines, especially the commercial ones, and also pipelines specifically targeted to preclinical data and body ASL other than the brain. Moreover, we are working with the education and web-page task forces on creating new tutorials and ASL-pipeline forums. Finally, we plan to connect and support pipeline developers to facilitate implementation of the ASL-BIDS standard and non-brain and pre-clinical functionality to major public ASL pipelines.
