Synopsis

In this work, we proposed a GPU-enabled MRI simulation framework written in Julia. The primary purpose of this simulator is to evaluate imaging pipelines from the acquisition to the reconstruction. To showcase this, we simulated two variations of an MRF sequence with radial acquisitions and then reconstructed using two methods. We demonstrated that this framework aids users to quickly write and test state-of-the-art MRI techniques and showed its potential to compare imaging pipelines in quantitative mapping.
