pulpy.grad.waveform.epi

pulpy.grad.waveform.epi(fov, n, etl, dt, gamp, gslew, offset=0, dirx=-1, diry=1)[source]

Basic EPI single-shot trajectory designer.

Parameters:

  • fov (float) – imaging field of view in cm.

  • n (int) – # of pixels (square). N = etl*nl, where etl = echo-train-len and nl = # leaves (shots). nl default 1.

  • etl (int) – echo train length.

  • dt (float) – sample time in s.

  • gamp (float) – max gradient amplitude in mT/m.

  • gslew (float) – max slew rate in mT/m/ms.

  • offset (int) – used for multi-shot EPI goes from 0 to #shots-1

  • dirx (int) – x direction of EPI -1 left to right, 1 right to left

  • diry (int) – y direction of EPI -1 bottom-top, 1 top-bottom

Returns:

(g, k, t, s) tuple containing

  • g - (array): gradient waveform [mT/m]

  • k - (array): exact k-space corresponding to gradient g.

  • time - (array): sampled time

  • s - (array): slew rate [mT/m/ms]

Return type:

tuple
