K-particles (a.k.a. what would happen to brains if we explode k-space?)
Short description and the goals for the OHBM BrainHack
Description
Join us on an extraordinary visual adventure as we dive deep into the captivating realm of K-Space. Through the power of particle ~explosions~ animations, our project aims to shed light on the hidden wonders of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by explo~d~ring the intricacies of k-space and its relationship to the Fourier transform and brain images. Our ultimate goal is to create an enchanting video that unveils the magic of k-space sampling patterns and sparks curiosity among viewers.
The primary objective of this project is to leverage particle animations to provide insights into the journey of traveling and sampling the k-space. By generating captivating visualizations, we aim to demystify the concept of k-space and the role it plays in MRI, engaging both the scientific community and the general public in a delightful exploration of this fundamental aspect of imaging.
Goals
Particle Animation Wizardry: We will create an array of animated particles that represent the journey within the k-space. These particles will travel, interact, and dynamically respond to the sampling process, offering a visually captivating representation of the Fourier transform in action.
K-Space ~Explosion~ Sampling Patterns: Through manipulation of the animated particles, we will generate various k-space sampling patterns that demonstrate the importance of sampling strategies in MRI. By altering particle behavior, density, and distribution, we will illustrate the impact of different sampling schemes on image quality and resolution.
Video Compilation: The generated particle animations and k-space sampling patterns will be compiled into a visually stunning and informative video. This video will showcase the beauty and complexity of the k-space journey, making it accessible to a wide audience. To reach a broad community of researchers and enthusiasts, we will publish the final video on YouTube. This platform will enable us to share the captivating visuals, educate viewers about k-space and the Fourier transform, and spark curiosity and discussions around the fascinating world of MRI.
