KomaMRI.jl (formerly MRIsim.jl), whose name comes from the Japanese word for spinning-top こま (ko-ma) as they precess due to gravity like spins in a magnetic field.
This package is meant to simulate general Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scenarios that could arise in pulse sequence development.
🟢 [6 Mar 2023] Paper published in MRM😃 ! The open access article is available here.
🟢 [8 Dec 2022] KomaMRI v0.7: Huge code rewrite, this implies improved: performance (now 5x faster), type stability, extensibility, and more!
🟢 [17 May 2022] ISMRM 2022 presentation: My abstract presentation is now uploaded here!
☰ Roadmap
v1.0:
- Phantom and Sequence data-types,
- Spin preccesion in gradient-only blocks (simulation optimization),
- GPU accelaration using CUDA.jl,
- RF excitation,
- GPU accelaration of RF excitation,
- Scanner data-type:
, etc.,
- Pulseq IO,
- Signal "Raw Output" dictionary (ISMRMRD),
- MRIReco.jl for the reconstruciton,
- Documentation,
-
decay,
- Auxiliary Pulseq functions,
- Coil sensitivities,
- Cardiac phantoms, and triggers.
Next:
- Diffusion models with Laplacian Eigen Functions,
- Magnetic susceptibility,
- Use PackageCompiler.jl to build a ditributable core or app.
Installation
To install just write the following in the Julia REPL:
] add KomaMRIFirst run
KomaMRI.jl comes with a handy GUI that contains a brain phantom with an EPI sequence. To open it use:
using KomaMRI
KomaUI()Press the button that says "Simulate!" to do your first simulation :). Then, a notification emerge telling you that the simulation was successful. In this notification, you can either select to (1) see the Raw signal or (2) to procced with the reconstruction.
