pulpy.grad.waveform.spiral_arch

pulpy.grad.waveform.spiral_arch(fov, res, gts, gslew, gamp)

Analytic Archimedean spiral designer. Produces trajectory, gradients, and slew rate. Gradient returned has units mT/m.

Parameters:

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

• res (float) – resolution, in m.

• gts (float) – sample time in s.

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

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

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
