| CBIC: Pulse Programming Bootcamp Class Handouts
Notes from a three hour of pulse programming class designed to bring students up to speed on RF pulse design, gradient waveforms, pulse program diagramming, k-space trajectories and the most useful sequences in general use at low and high field. Essential information for those considering attending manufacturers (Siemens IDEA, Bruker Paravision, GE EPIC) programming courses.
