An educational tool for simulating MRI

This software is developed by Irina Grigorescu

This work is based on the book called "Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design" by Robert W. Brown, Yu-Chung Cheng and E. Mark Haacke.

The project/learning/ folder contains different things I would like to learn.

The report/ folder has Latex files with solved problems and notes.

TODO

• Fix the phase stuff because phase is related to B1 field, and modelling it as a rotation about the z axis does not make sense physically.
• In the laboratory frame, make sure simulation ends with mu vector lying along the corresponding axis as it does in the rotating frame
• Remove Update buttons and update fields after enter https://practicalmatlab.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/textboxes/
• Add plot with Mz and Mxy in both rotating and laboratory frames
• Investigate off-resonance B1
