Abstract :
We design a computer simulation program to solve the Bloch equations. By applying different RF pulse sequences, we can simulate MR images and their imaging contrasts for material with different T1 and T2. The imaging contrast fits well with the calculated formula value. As a RF pulse sequence does not have a signal close form intensity, we can use this program to simulate the images and their T1, T2 contrasts
