Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate

Session Number: S-W-08

Overview
The course aims to provide an overview of available open-source software tools for pulse sequence programming and RF pulse design. There will be a hands-on component in the course with an example to illustrate how open-source software can be used to achieve more rapid prototyping of sequences and RF pulses, which can be then be played out directly on MRI scanners.

Target Audience
Scientists interested in the design and implementation of pulse sequences and RF pulses.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Draw knowledge from available open source tools to build RF pulses and sequences; and
- Explain how these tools can be used for rapid prototyping of RF pulse and sequences.

		Open-Source RF Pulse Design & Demo Jonathan Martin, William Grissom Watch the Video The SigPy.RF Python software package provides a comprehensive set of tools for slice-selective, adiabatic, multidimensional and parallel transmit RF pulse design. In this hands-on demo, we introduce SigPy.RF and then show how to use it to design multiband and parallel transmit pulses.
