PGH_MRI is a data directory which contains examples of files stored in a format for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. It was proposed as an intermediate format, much simpler than the standard DICOM format, but more extensible than formats such as that used by ANALYZE.

A typical dataset comprises two files:
