Synopsis

We investigated the use of physically-motivated corrections for non-Cartesian imaging within a fast, open-source MR reconstruction framework written in the Julia programming language. Building on existing Julia libraries for MR image reconstruction, we developed a comprehensive, open-source pipeline for non-Cartesian image reconstruction including B₀ inhomogeneity correction, gradient system characterization and eddy current correction. We demonstrated that spiral images can be reconstructed using this pipeline with high geometric accuracy in a fast, accessible and efficient manner on modest hardware.
