mriseqplot

mriseqplot is a python module to generate and render MRI sequence diagrams with. It's early days for the project and its main mission now is to provide a simple API to generate neat tweakable sequence diagrams.

Logic

In a nutshell, mriseqplot allows you to map a sequence of events to a figure with a desired number of axes.

Sequence class represents an MRI sequence as a combination of logical channels, or sequence of events, played out by the scanner. For example, a sequence of RF pulses might be combined together into one "channel", while a sequence of readout gradients can be combined into another "channel". Every channel is represented as a single numpy array with 1 or 2 dimensions, with one axis representing time, and another potentially allowing to stack multiple events on top of each other (e.g. to represent all phase encoding gradients at once).

Next, the sequence of these channels must be mapped onto a figure. By default, each logical channel represented by Sequence receives its own axis, however mriseqplot allows to map a number of channels to one (e.g. to represent RF and ADC on one axis).

Installing mriseqplot

mriseqplot is not yet on PyPI, neither it is available through anaconda. To install the module, clone the repository from GitHub

git clone git@github.com:Sibgatulin/mriseqplot.git

and then install via pip

pip install mriseqplot

or if you plan to modify the code, install it in «editable» mode

pip install -e mriseqplot

Furthermore, if you intend to commit to the repository, you'll need pre-commit, so we recommend you go with the dev extra requirements (mind no space before [) and set pre-commit up:

pip install -e mriseqplot[dev]
pre-commit install

Contributing to mriseqplot

The project tries to stick with PEP8 and encourages to use black (see installation above). Occasionally, there are some type hints but their use is so far... Experimental? 🤔🤷
