Abstract

MRI Simulator is based on numerical solution of the Bloch Equation. The numerical solution is obtained as a time update form of the magnetization vector. Parameters of this time update coefficients are shown to be related to the pulse sequence parameters and gradient amplitudes. The contents include application of the time update solution for simulation of Gradient Echo (GRE) sequences. Influence of T2* and susceptibility effects are also discussed.
