Breaking changes

• CartesianTrajectory is now named CartesianTrajectory2D. CartesianTrajectory itself is now an abstract type. Why? To make place for a CartesianTrajectory3D in the future.
• Similarly, RadialTrajectory is now named RadialTrajectory2D and RadialTrajectory itself is now an abstract type.

New features

• The Omega matrix in the EPG model on GPU is distributed over threads within a warp. This improves performance over the previous implementation in which each thread was assigned to a single voxel and the Omega matrix was stored in shared memory. Inspired by the COMPAS Toolkit. Note that it requires max_state to be a multiple of the warp size (typically 32).

BlochSimulators v0.5.0

Diff since v0.4.0

New features

• Add code to calculate partial derivatives of magnetization using finite differences
• Add B0 effects during Cartesian signal calculation
• Add batched signal calculation (useful in case magnetization array does not fit into (GPU) memory at once)
• Use custom ConfigurationStates type rather than the (EPGStates) type alias

BlochSimulators - v0.4.0

BlochSimulators v0.4.0

Diff since v0.3.0

Breaking changes

• AbstractTissueParameters has been renamed to AbstractTissueProperties. In the comments/docstrings, the collection of values within a voxel that are used as simulation input (e.g. T₁, T₂) are referred to as tissue properties.
• When performing simulations for multiple voxels (e.g. for MR-STAT forward simulations or for generating an MRF dictionary), the tissue properties of all voxels are now stored in a StructArray. If parameters is such a StructArray{<:AbstractTissueProperties}, the T₁ values in all voxels can be accessed as parameters.T₁. We use SimulationParameters as an alias for StructArray{<:AbstractTissueProperties}.

Features

• Generate SimulationParameters with the syntax like @parameters T₁ T₂ B₀ or @parameters T1 T2 B1
• Convenience methods for simulate_magnetization have been added to perform simulations without manually specifying the resource.

Minor

• The contents of examples/sequences and examples/trajectories have been moved to sequences and trajectories, respectively.
• Source code formatting with JuliaFormatter has been applied to all source files.
• Cleanup of some docstrings.

BlochSimulators - v0.3.0

Release notes:

Breaking changes

• The simulated signal is no longer a Vector{<:SVector} but an AbstractArray instead with the last dimension being the coil dimension.
• Provide Coordinates (e.g. x,y,z values per voxel) separate from the other parameters.
• Coil sensitivities must be provided as an AbstractMatrix{<:Complex} rather than a AbstractVector{<:SVector}.

Features

• Efficient signal computation based on matrix-matrix multiplications for Cartesian trajectory implemented.
• Refactored and improved readability of code that handles the simulation of magnetization/signal on different resources.
