Abstract

In this paper, we present the implementation of a MagneticResonance Imaging (MRI) simulator on a GRID computingarchitecture. The simulation process is based on theresolution of Bloch equation [1] in a 3D space. Thecomputation kernel of the simulator is distributed to thegrid nodes using MPICH-G2 [2]. The results presentedshow that simulation of 3D MRI data is achieved with areasonable cost which gives new perspectives to MRIsimulations usage.
