The tutorials below are software tools to interactively introduce and foster the understanding of MR basics and the methods behind MR imaging.

Module 1: MR Simulator

The Basic MRI Simulator is an interactive visualization tool that demonstrates the fundamental concepts of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Users can explore how magnetic fields, RF pulses, and relaxation times influence spin dynamics using 3D graphics and real-time simulation. The tool is ideal for teaching, learning, and experimenting with basic MRI physics. This (software) tutorial is available here.

Module 2: MRI Sequence Development using MevisMRLab

MevisMRLab is a Python-based toolbox that helps you dive into basic concepts of MR sequences and the physics behind. Predefined moduli allow progress at different levels of detail. This (software) tutorial is available here.

Modul 3: gammaSTAR

gammaSTAR is a vendor-neutral, hardware-agnostic MRI sequence development and execution framework developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS: Institute for Digital Medicine. It is designed to allow researchers to develop new, complex MRI techniques and run them on different MRI scanners (Siemens, Philips, GE, and others) without having to reprogram the sequence for each vendor. Tutorials are available on gammaSTAR's website and GitHub page.
