spinsight 1.0.15

MR image simulator for teaching purposes

SpinSight MRI simulator

SpinSight is an MRI simulator written in Python and created for educational puposes. It jointly visualizes the imaging parameters, the MRI pulse sequence, the k-space data matrix, and the MR image. These are updated in near real-time when the user changes parameters. The simulator is run as a web browser dashboard. The data is simulated from computational 2D phantoms in vector graphics format (SVG).

Running the Simulator

Install using pip:

pip install spinsight

Then run as a command line tool

spinsight

This serves SpinSight on the local host, so that the simulator can be run by navigating to localhost in the web browser. The same command line tool can be used to deploy the simulator on a local network, or on a web server (run spinsight -h for help). Be aware that several minutes are required upon loading a phantom for the first time.

Dependencies

See pyproject.toml under heading [tool.poetry.dependencies].
