Software

openMATLAB® interface

Slice Select: For 3D imaging methods use ‘Slice Select GUI’ for simple slice orientation.
Sequence Plot: Use the power of MATLAB to plot, zoom and analyse our sequences.
GUIs for easy operation available – example: echo train
Network analyser included: Tune and match your coils directly out of MATLAB – no repluging required!
Plot your data with the powerful matlab figures – example: SpinEcho 0D
Write our own sequences directly in MATLAB.
Shaped RF pulses: Use our pre-defined RF-pulse-shapes or easily create your own shape.
