(tb, sl_sep, sl_thick, g_max, g_slew, dt, b1_max=0.18, ptype='ex', ftype='ls', d1=0.01, d2=0.01, gambar=4258)[source]¶ PINS multiband pulse design.
Parameters: - tb (float) – time-bandwidth product.
- sl_sep (float) – slice separation in cm.
- sl_thick (float) – slice thickness in cm.
- g_max (float) – max gradient amplitude in gauss/cm
- g_slew (float) – max gradient sliew in gauss/cm/s
- dt (float) – RF + gradient dwell time in s.
- b1_max (float) – Maximum RF amplitude
- ptype (string) – pulse type, ‘st’ (small-tip excitation), ‘ex’ (pi/2 excitation pulse), ‘se’ (spin-echo pulse), ‘inv’ (inversion), or ‘sat’ (pi/2 saturation pulse).
- ftype (string) – type of filter to use in pulse design
- d1 (float) – passband ripple level in :math:’M_0^{-1}’.
- d2 (float) – stopband ripple level in :math:’M_0^{-1}’.
- gambar (float) – Appropriate gyromagnetic ratio in Hz/gauss.
Returns: - rf (array): RF Pulse in Gauss
- g (array): Gradient waveform in Gauss/cm
Return type: 2-element tuple containing
