This research demonstrates the effectiveness of Bloch simulators for improving MRI imaging in medical applications, highlighting substantial benefits for future advancements.
Fast three dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulators were developed for Cartesian and Non-Cartesian k-space sampling using graphic processing units (GPUs). The simulated results were compared with those acquired using a custom-built 1.5T MRI system for the RF spoiled gradient echo, MP2RAGE, and 3D Cones sequences. The simulated MR images clearly reproduced the MR images that were experimentally obtained in the calculation times of less than or nearly equal to the image acquisition times. Therefore, MRI simulators using Bloch equations showed considerable possibilities in the research and development of MRI. ＊Present affiliation : MRIsimulations Inc.
