[Mristudio-users] Gradient Table

[조양제]

As I know, x,y,z information is not always necessary.
I have succeeded to load Siemens (Trio, 20 dir) Mosaic files with
gradient numbers
You only have to not forget to write numbers of 100, 100, 100 and finally
0,0,0 at the end of table.
Here is an example,

0: -1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000
1: 0.000000, -1.000000, 0.000000
2: 0.031984, -0.799591, 0.599693
.
.
.
18: -0.111012, -0.264029, -0.958105
19: -0.031984, -0.799591, -0.599693
20: 100, 100, 100
21: 0,0,0

If you really want to find the x,y,z information, I'm afraid I can't answer
it.
But I have heard that the information is not technically necessary from the
computer technologist
working at the Siemens company. He have read the instructions and talked to
me like that.

Wish it would be helpful.
