Welcome to ODIN - the Object oriented Development Interface for NMR
-------------------------------------------------------------------

ODIN is an open-source framework for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
It covers the whole toolchain of MRI, from low-level data acquisition
to image reconstruction. In particular, it aims at rapid prototyping
of MRI sequences. The sequences can be programmed using a high-level,
object oriented, C++ programming interface.  It provides advanced
sequence analysis tools, such as interactive plotting of k-space
trajectories, a user interface for a fast compile-link-test cycle
and a powerful MRI simulator which supports different virtual samples.
For fast and flexible image reconstruction, ODIN contains a highly
customizable, multi-threaded data-processing framework.
In addition, ODIN features useful command-line utilities for
converting, manipulating and viewing medical image data in
various formats (DICOM, NIfTI, binary data, ...).


For installation instructions, please see the file 'INSTALL' file.

The subdirectory 'platforms' contains a short description (HOWTO.txt) how to
set up ODIN to work together with the different scanners.

For sequence examples, please take a look at the 'sequences' subdirectory.
