fT1fit

Fast T1 mapping methods

A custom user interface tool (as an exe file) is available for download at https://sites.google.com/site/yoonckim1/software/t1_map_compare.

The code was tested using the following specs and libraries:

• Windows OS 10
• python 3.6
• pyqt5
• pydicom==2.0.0
• matplotlib==2.2.2
• numpy==1.14.5
• scipy==1.1.0
• scikit-image==0.14.0

Use pip to install the above libraries. For example,

(ft1fit) C:\Users\yckim\Documents\t1map_cpp\gui_code2> pip install pydicom==2.0.0

To run the script and launch the graphical user interface.

(ft1fit) C:\Users\yckim\Documents\t1map_cpp\gui_code2> python gui_ft1fit.py
