Water selective pulses

Tailored spectral spatial pulses for counteracting B0 shim errors with parallel transmit. Details in this publication

Code can be found in the repo. The release contains example test data (B0/B1 field maps from 3T PTx system).

Amplitude Modulated Multi-band pulses

Simple script to compute optimized slice phase offsets for minimum peak amplitude AM only multi-band RF pulses. As presented at ISMRM 2015

Phase Relaxed Localized Excitation pulses for CPMG sequences

Pulse design method for use with localized excitation in CPMG fast spin echo sequences. Selective violation of the CPMG condition is used as a means for improving background suppression. See this publication for more details. Code is here.

Gradient Impulse Response corrected VERSE

VERSE based pulse design with additional inclusion of gradient impulse response function. See the readme for detailed information.
