Description
I am implementing on matlab an EPG but I encountered some mismatch when generating a TSE sequence.
I download this repousitory, and implemented a TSE similar to the example given, allowing it for an automatic design for any number of echoes.
Here is the input I am using:
%% Simulate double spin echoes with EPG
% -------------------- Tissues in (ms) -----------------------------
T1_GM = 1300;
T2_GM = 180;
% -------------------- initial parameters ---------------------------
seq.TE = 50; % TE ms
seq.FA = 170; % Flip angle ->20º
nechos = 20;
seq.events = [];
seq.time = [];
event = {'relax', 'rf','grad','relax'};
Tstart_event = [0 seq.TE/2];
Gstart_event = [1];
seq.events = {'rf','grad'};
seq.time = Tstart_event;
seq.grad = [Gstart_event];
phi = [90 zeros(1,nechos)]; % CPMG
FA = [90 ones(1,nechos)*seq.FA]; % FA for GM in the start
seq.rf = [phi; FA];
for neco = 1:nechos
seq.events = [seq.events , event]; % Sequence of events
seq.time = [seq.time , seq.TE*neco-seq.TE/2, seq.TE*neco-seq.TE/2, seq.TE*neco, seq.TE*neco]; % Time in ms
seq.grad = [seq.grad, 1];
end
seq.T1 = T1_GM;
seq.T2 = T2_GM;
% ------------------- Get EPG ----------------------------------
% IMR - Framework EPG
[om_store,echoes] = EPG_custom(seq);
For a Flip Angle (FA) of 180º , I get a well behaviour and expected plot Fig1. However, if I vary the FA the behaviour seems to be unexpected. Specially, when considering up and down oscilations for the Intensity of the signal. Fig2 (FA=170) or Fig3 (FA=30)
Could you please let me know what am I doing wrong, and how can I overcome this issue?
Best
Tiago
