β¦ Synopsis
A method for pathway selection in a multiple spin-echo pulse sequence applying crusher gradients before and after each pi pulse, to dephase unwanted pathways, is described. This method selects the only pathway that would contribute to the measurable signal if the pi pulses were perfect (1,-1,1,-1, em leader ). Good pathway selection is essential in pulse programming, especially when the CPMG condition is not met. An interactive applet was also developed to deal with these calculations.

The selection of well-defined coherence transfer pathways is an essential feature of all but the simplest NMR and EPR pulse sequences. This selection can be achieved by phase cycling and by pulsed field gradients. The properties of the RF-pulses (flip angle, offset effects, inhomogeneity) and transp
A geometrical description for the selection of coherence transfer pathways in high resolution NMR by the application of pulsed field gradients along three orthogonal directions in space is presented. The response of the spin system is one point of the threedimensional Fourier transform of the sample
We describe a new and powerful computer program called TRIPLE\_GRADIENT which calculates optimized pulsed field gradient sequences for specific coherence pathway selection or rejection. Sequences can be computed for gradient coils acting along one, two, or three perpendicular axes. The program is ba
