Welcome to the VeSPA Project

VeSPA stands for Versatile Simulation Pulses and Analysis.

VeSPA is a set of three magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) software applications called Simulation, RFPulse and Analysis. These powerful tools are for magnetic resonance (MR) spectral simulation, MR RF pulse design, and spectral processing and analysis of MR data.

The VeSPA package extends the maintenance and development of three previously developed MRS software tools by migrating them into an integrated, open source, open development platform.

These applications can be run separately but can communicate among themselves via a shared database of objects/results. One example of inter- application sharing might be that Simulation would make use of an RF pulse designed in RFPulse application to create a more realistic MR simulation.

NIH grant number 1R01EB008387-01A1 funded the maintenance and extension of these separate applications into a combined environment based entirely on the Python language.
