Note all these sequences assume chemical shift displacement is negligible. Next we simulate a 30 ms spin-echo sequence and plot: ```{r, message = FALSE} ins_sim <- sim_mol(ins, seq_spin_echo_ideal, ft = 300e6, N = 4086, TE = 0.03) ins_sim |> lb(2) |> plot(xlim = c(3.8, 3.1)) ``` Finally we simulate a range of echo-times and plot all results together to see the phase evolution: ```{r, message = FALSE, fig.height = 8} sim_fn <- function(TE) { te_sim <- sim_mol(ins, seq_spin_echo_ideal, ft = 300e6, N = 4086, TE = TE) lb(te_sim, 2) } te_vals <- seq(0, 2, 0.4) lapply(te_vals, sim_fn) |> stackplot(y_offset = 150, xlim = c(3.8, 3.1), labels = paste(te_vals * 100, "ms")) ``` See the [basis simulation](spant-basis-simulation.html) vignette for how to combine these simulations into a basis set for MRS analysis. ## Custom molecules For simple signals that do not require j-coupling evolution, for example singlets or approximations to macromolecule or lipid resonances, the `get_uncoupled_mol` function may be used. In this example we simulated two broad Gaussian resonances at 1.3 and 1.4 ppm with differing amplitudes: ```{r, message = FALSE} get_uncoupled_mol("Lip13", c(1.3, 1.4), c("1H", "1H"), c(2, 1), c(10, 10), c(1, 1)) |> sim_mol() |> plot(xlim = c(2, 0.8)) ``` Molecules that aren't defined within spant, or need adjusting to match a particular scan, may be manually defined by constructing a `mol_parameters` object. In the following code we define an imaginary molecule based on Lactate, with the addition of a second spin group containing a singlet at 2.5 ppm. Whilst this molecule could be defined as a single group, it is more computationally efficient to split non j-coupled spin systems up in this way. Note the lineshape is set to a Lorentzian (Lorentz-Gauss factor lg = 0) with a width of 2 Hz. It is generally a good idea to simulate resonances with narrower lineshapes that you expect to see in experimental data, as it is far easier to make a resonance broader than narrower. ```{r, message = FALSE} nucleus_a <- rep("1H", 4) chem_shift_a <- c(4.0974, 1.3142, 1.3142, 1.3142) j_coupling_mat_a <- matrix(0, 4, 4) j_coupling_mat_a[2,1] <- 6.933 j_coupling_mat_a[3,1] <- 6.933 j_coupling_mat_a[4,1] <- 6.933 spin_group_a <- list(nucleus = nucleus_a, chem_shift = chem_shift_a, j_coupling_mat = j_coupling_mat_a, scale_factor = 1, lw = 2, lg = 0) nucleus_b <- c("1H") chem_shift_b <- c(2.5) j_coupling_mat_b <- matrix(0, 1, 1) spin_group_b <- list(nucleus = nucleus_b, chem_shift = chem_shift_b, j_coupling_mat = j_coupling_mat_b, scale_factor = 3, lw = 2, lg = 0) source <- "This text should include a reference on the origin of the chemical shift and j-coupling values." custom_mol <- list(spin_groups = list(spin_group_a, spin_group_b), name = "Cus", source = source, full_name = "Custom molecule") class(custom_mol) <- "mol_parameters" ``` In the next step we output the molecule definition as formatted text and plot it. ```{r, message = FALSE} print(custom_mol) custom_mol |> sim_mol() |> lb(2) |> zf() |> plot(xlim = c(4.4, 0.5)) ``` Once your happy the new molecule is correct, please consider contributing it to the package if you think others would benefit.
