Expand the capabilities of NumericalModel.m #151

NumericalModel.m currently allows the user to simulate T2 decay in a 2D Shepp-Logan phantom using matlab's phantom function. A linear B0 gradient can be added to simulate T2 decay in an inhomogeneous B0 field.

The capabilities of NumericalModel.m should be expanded so that T2* decay is simulated

for phantoms of other shapes that will eventually be used in-vivo; such as spherical and cylindrical phantoms
in the presence of an arbitrary deltaB0 distribution (that can be supplied by the user)

Cool! Happy to provide input or assistance if any part of the design of this class is not clear or needs to be refactored for this extended functionality to work.
