Minimal example script#

An example to show how to perform a simple NUFFT.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from scipy.datasets import face

import mrinufft
from mrinufft.density import voronoi
from mrinufft.trajectories import display

# Create a 2D radial trajectory for demo
samples_loc = mrinufft.initialize_2D_radial(Nc=100, Ns=500)
# Get a 2D image for the demo (512x512)
image = np.complex64(face(gray=True)[256:768, 256:768])

## The real deal starts here ##
# Choose your NUFFT backend (installed independly from the package)
NufftOperator = mrinufft.get_operator("finufft")

# For better image quality we use a density compensation
density = voronoi(samples_loc)

# And create the associated operator
nufft = NufftOperator(
    samples_loc, shape=image.shape, density=density, n_coils=1, squeeze_dims=True
)

kspace_data = nufft.op(image)  # Image -> K-space
image2 = nufft.adj_op(kspace_data)  # K-space -> Image

original image, Sampled points in k-space, Auto adjoint image, Rescaled Error

Note

This resulting image is not the same as the original one because the NUFFT operator is not a perfect inverse operation but an adjoint, and we undersampled by a factor of 5. The reconstruction artifacts can be removed by using an iterative reconstruction method. Check PySAP-mri documentation for examples.
