The MRzero Core contains the core functionality of MRzero like MRI sequence building, simulation and reconstruction. MRzero Core does not force you to take any particular approach to e.g., reconstruction, as it targets easy integration in existing projects. Nevertheless, more tools can be added in the future if they helpful for the general application space.
MRzero Core is written in Python, heavily relying on PyTorch for fast (GPU-) Tensor calculations. To improve performance, parts of the simulation are written in Rust and compiled for x86 Windows and Linux, other platforms are currently not supported.
Install with pip:
pip install MRzeroCore
The typical way of using it is like the following:
import MRzeroCore as mr0
Examples on how to use can be found in the Playground.

This assumes windows as host operating system. For building the python wheel, you need:
- the Rust toolchain: rustup
- the rust-python build tool tool: pip install maturin
- for Linux crosscompilation: docker
- to build the documentation: pip install jupyter-book
Building for Windows
maturin build --interpreter python
Building for Linux
docker run --rm -v <path-to-repo>/MRzero-Core:/io ghcr.io/pyo3/maturin build
To build the documentation, run
jupyter-book build documentation/
in the root folder of this project. This requires jupyter-book as well as MRzeroCore itself to be installed.
The python wheels hosted by PyPI is built as described above, and uploaded as following:
maturin upload target/wheels/MRzeroCore-{ version }-cp37-abi3-win_amd64.whl target/wheels/MRzeroCore-{ version }-cp37-abi3-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl -u <pypi-user> -p <pypi-pwd>
The documentation is built using readthedocs, which works the same as described above.
