In this thesis, a realistic
and web accessible MRI simulator based on the solution of Bloch equation is
proposed and implemented. The simulator generates images from virtually defined
3D objects using the pulse sequence and slice selection parameters provided by
the user. The simulation is implemented in Java and the applications are
developed as Java applets which are accessible through internet. The simulation
software is composed of two applications: “Spin Simulator” and
“MRI Simulator”. The “Spin Simulator” allows one to
observe NMR phenomenon on 3D and 2D displays by applying excitation and
relaxation to a virtual object. It is developed as an educational and
supportive tool for “MRI Simulator”. The “MRI
Simulator” generates slice images by executing the pulse sequence with
the selected parameters on the 3D virtual object. Gradient echo and spin echo
and echo planar pulse sequences are implemented and selectable by the user.

The links of the
applications are below. If you cannot see the applets, please download a Java
virtual machine above 1.5.
