Simulators

The sequences that ship with TorchSim. A constructor takes the keywords simulate() takes and fixes them, so a sequence and the tissue it is being asked about are written down together and what is left to give at the call is whatever is actually varying.

Closed form

Signals that have an analytic expression, evaluated in one pass.

torchsim.simulators.bSSFPSimulator	The balanced SSFP steady state, read at the echo time.
torchsim.simulators.SPGRSimulator	The spoiled gradient-echo steady state, read at the echo time.
torchsim.simulators.MP2RAGESimulator	Two gradient-echo blocks read at two inversion times, in closed form.
torchsim.simulators.InversionRecoverySimulator	Longitudinal recovery from an inversion, read at a series of delays.
torchsim.simulators.MultiEchoSimulator	Transverse decay, read at a series of echo times.
torchsim.simulators.DoubleAngleSimulator	Excitation at a series of flip angles, scaled by the transmit field.
torchsim.simulators.SpinEchoSimulator	A spin echo repeated every TR, optionally behind an inversion.
torchsim.simulators.LookLockerSimulator	Recovery from an inversion under a spoiled train of small flip angles.
torchsim.simulators.MOLLISimulator	Look-Locker readout blocks separated by free recovery, after one inversion.
torchsim.simulators.IRbSSFPSimulator	Recovery from an inversion under a balanced SSFP train.
torchsim.simulators.HSFPSimulator	A balanced train whose flip angle varies slowly, in the hybrid state.
torchsim.simulators.MultiGradientEchoSimulator	Water and fat, dephasing and decaying across a gradient-echo train.
torchsim.simulators.IRMultiGradientEchoSimulator	A multi-gradient-echo train read at a series of inversion times.
torchsim.simulators.DiffusionSimulator	Attenuation by Gaussian diffusion, at a series of b-values.
torchsim.simulators.LorentzianSimulator	A Z-spectrum as equilibrium minus one Lorentzian line per pool.
torchsim.simulators.ASLSimulator	The label-control difference of arterial spin labelling, over time.

State machine

Trains that have to be played out, run on the extended phase graph engine.

torchsim.simulators.FSESimulator	A refocused echo train, sampled at every echo.
torchsim.simulators.HyperechoSimulator	A refocused train mirrored about a central refocusing pulse.
torchsim.simulators.StimulatedEchoSimulator	Three pulses, sampled at the spin echo of the first two and at the stimulated echo.
torchsim.simulators.MPRAGESimulator	An inversion followed by a spoiled train, sampled at the k-space centre.
torchsim.simulators.MPnRAGESimulator	An inversion followed by a spoiled gradient-echo train, every shot read.
torchsim.simulators.MRFSimulator	An inversion, then a variable flip-angle train whose readouts wind on.
torchsim.simulators.FLASHSimulator	A spoiled gradient-echo train from equilibrium, optionally inverted first.
torchsim.simulators.TrueFISPSimulator	A balanced SSFP train from equilibrium, optionally inverted first.
torchsim.simulators.fmSSFPSimulator	A balanced SSFP train whose RF frequency is swept through one passband per sweep.
torchsim.simulators.CESTSimulator	A Z-spectrum simulated through a train of saturation pulses, pool by pool.
