# gencoil(1)

Generates a virtual coil suitable for sequence simulation in ODIN

## NAME

gencoil - Generates a virtual coil suitable for sequence simulation in ODIN

## DESCRIPTION

gencoil: Generates a virtual coil suitable for sequence simulation in ODIN This program is part of odin 2.0.5 with configuration  using\_gcc debug gui(:5) standalone dl posix\_threads libz gsl nifti vtk dicom png ismrmrd gdb

### Usage and options:

-

  Generate a radially inhomogenous coil:

-

  gencoil **-rad** **-n** \<inplane-size\> **-fov** \<FOV\> **-R** \<radial-inhomogeneity\[%\]\> **-o** \<Coil-file\>

-

  Generate an array coil by rotating pre-existing image file:

-

  gencoil **-rot** **-n** \<inplane-size\> **-fov** \<FOV\> **-nc** \<numof-rotated-subcoils\> **-i** \<input-image\> **-sl** \<selected-slice\> **-o** \<Coil-file\>

-

  Generate an array coil consisting of simple loops:

- gencoil **-arr** **-n** \<inplane-size\> **-nc** \<numof-rotated-loops\>

  **-fov** \<FOV\> **-R** \<array-radius\> **-o** \<Coil-file\>

-

  Generate coil with a B1 gradient:

-

  gencoil **-grad** **-n** \<inplane-size\> **-fov** \<FOV\> **-g** \<B1-gradient-endpoint\> **-o** \<Coil-file\>

### Other options:

**-v** \<loglevel\> or \<component:loglevel\> for debugging/tracing all components or a single component, respectively. Possible values for loglevel are: 0(noLog), 1(errorLog), 2(warningLog), 3(infoLog), 4(significantDebug), 5(normalDebug), 6(verboseDebug).
