pymerlin.trajectory.piccini_phyllotaxis(n, nint)[source]

Generate a spiral phyllotaxis trajectory with square root z-modulation according to formulation by Piccini et al. Note, this does not give a uniform FOV but slightly higher sampling in the x/y plane than along z.

Parameters
  • n (int) – Number of spokes

  • nint (int) – Number of interleaves

Returns

Trajectory

Return type
