This PR adds support for Variable density spiral generation.

It is a port to Python of the code of Brian Hargreaves from

http://mrsrl.stanford.edu/~brian/vdspiral/

The associated publication is here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mrm.10644

Note that the units are messed up for now compared to the conventions of MRI-NUFFT, but this can still provide some good results.

On top of the original code, I added support for in-out trajectories.

This opens new potential for MRI-NUFFT as this is the first trajectory generation that is procedural and dependent on target FOV. It is an early development phase, and a few things I wish would be addressed in the near future:

  • Fix In-out trajectories by correct initialization of the gradients
  • Use the correct unit and scaling (Telsa /meter/seconds / Hertz)
  • Support density profiles that are not polynomial
  • The code is quite slow compared to Matlab; there might be some optimization to do.
