Hiii bestie, pull up a chair because this is GENCOIL(1) from the User Commands section and she is serving virtual coils 💖

✨ NAME ✨

gencoil — Generates a virtual coil suitable for sequence simulation in ODIN 🌀

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so <rainbow>gencoil</rainbow> does one job and does it beautifully: it generates a virtual coil suitable for sequence simulation in ODIN. That's the whole vibe. No cap. 👑

This program is part of odin 2.0.5, and she was built with this exact configuration, so write it down, don't paraphrase it, she's specific:

using_gcc debug gui(:5) standalone dl posix_threads libz gsl nifti vtk dicom png ismrmrd gdb

🌸 Usage and options 🌸

Four flavours of coil generation, four little recipes. Pick your fighter 💅

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>

The little extras that make life easier, she thought of everything fr fr ✨

• -v <loglevel> or -v <component:loglevel> — for debugging/tracing all components or a single component, respectively. So like, whole-app tea or just one component's tea, your call 🍵

Possible values for loglevel are:

1. 0 (noLog)
2. 1 (errorLog)
3. 2 (warningLog)
4. 3 (infoLog)
5. 4 (significantDebug)
6. 5 (normalDebug)
7. 6 (verboseDebug)

• -h, --help, -help, --version — Print help text or version information. Your girl is always down to explain herself 💁‍♀️

No exit statuses, no environment variables, no files beyond the ones in the recipes — that's the whole menu, bestie. Short and iconic. 🎀
