We present a simple MR pulse programming framework for rapid prototyping of complex, custom MR pulse sequences. We define a file format that contains all low-level details of an MR imaging experiment, along with a driver (or interpreter) that loads the file(s) and executes the experiment on a General Electric scanner. We demonstrate that a wide range of sequences can be implemented with this setup, subject to limitations such as non-overlapping waveforms. Our framework is conceptually similar to Pulseq, a recently-introduced file format specification for which drivers for other vendor platforms exist (at present, Siemens and Bruker).
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
