Arbitrary Pulse Sequence Execution with Pulseq on Philips MRI Scanners
Motivation: To enable execution of open-source vendor-agnostic pulse sequences on Philips MRI scanners. Goal(s): To develop a Pulseq interpreter for Philips scanner. Approach: An intelligent Philips Pulseq interpreter, denoted "p2p" (Pulseq to Philips), was implemented in MATLAB. It converts Pulseq-generated .seq files into a format compatible with Philips sequence objects. Results: The p2p interpreter was tested with sequences that included arbitrary gradient waveforms including custom spiral waveforms and crusher waveforms spelling out the words ‘Philips Pulseq’, GRE and DW-EPI scans evaluated in phantoms and in vivo. Impact: Open-source Pulseq format sequences can be executed with minimal adaptations on Philips scanners. The p2p Pulseq Philips interpreter completes the set of interpreters required to implement harmonized pulse sequences across the three major vendor platforms.
