virtcoilphase 0.1.0

Virtual reference coil method to determine phase distribution

Virtual Reference Coil

Python implementation of the algorithm described in [1] for finding optimal phase map estimates using a constructed virtual coil.

Installation

Should be as easy as a pip install:

pip install virtcoilphase

Usage

Examples can be called from the command line, for example:

python -m virtcoilphase.examples.simple

Given a number of coil images, you can find the absolute phase estimate like this:

from virtcoilphase import virtcoilphase
phase = virtcoilphase(x, coil_axis=-1)
