Progress

Stable release, MIT License

Pulseq is an open source framework for the development, representation and execution of magnetic resonance (MR) sequences. A central contribution of this project is an open file format to compactly describe MR sequences suitable for execution on an MRI scanner or NMR spectrometer. MATLAB and C++ source code is provided for reading and writing sequence files.

Currently, Pulseq sequences can be executed on the following platforms. Please contact us if you would like to run open and flexible sequences at your institution.

  • Siemens
  • GE
  • Bruker
