Open‐source implementation of X‐nuclear sequences using the Pulseq framework
We have designed a modular 2D gradient echo spiral sequence supporting several sequence formats and a modular metabolic-specific 3D balanced steady-state free precession sequence for <sup>13</sup>C acquisition, as well as developed a GE interpreter with X-nucleus capabilities. Our work paves the way for future multi-site studies with acquisitions for X-nuclei across MRI vendors and software versions.
