This directory contains code for MRI RF pulse design in both the small-tip and large-tip regimes, for parallel transmit cases. This code was developed by Will Grissom initially while he was at UM, and then continued when he was at Stanford. The algorithms are based on this paper: @a grissom:09:flt ieee-t-mi 28 10 1548-59 oct 2009 William A Grissom Dan Xu Adam B Kerr J A Fessler Douglas C Noll Fast large-tip-angle multidimensional and parallel RF pulse design in MRI @u doi 10.1109/TMI.2009.2020064 To see how the code works, run ptx_test.m From a 2009-03-18 email from Will Grissom: Gocrf.m: The fast optimal control object. Contains everything you need, including a spin-domain Bloch simulator. exckspace.mat: Example accelerated spiral and EP trajectories fdtdsens.mat: Steve Wright's simulated transmit sensitivities. I got his permission to include these here. ptx_test.m: The script that puts it all together!
