SpectralSpatial

Files for producing spectral and spectral-spatial prewinding RF pulses for MRI
Based on S. N. Williams, J-F. Nielsen, J.A. Fessler, and D.C. Noll, "Design of spectral-spatial phase prewinding pulses and their use in small-tip fast recovery steady-state imaging", Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2017 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mrm.26794/abstract

Files found at: https://github.com/sydneynw/SpectralSpatial/

main files:
-example.m runs example design/plots on human data
-PrewindingPulse.mat human data for pulse design and simulation
-prewinding_pulse.m sets up spectral and spectral-spatial RF pulse design
-spectralRF.m spectral prewinding design
-spectralspatialRF.m spectral prewinding design
... additional file details listed in example.m

needs the following external packages:
