This repository contains or will contain:

- the sequence's diagram, bmatrix, M0-M1-M2, velocity shift and Maxwell gradient moment of the Spin Echo monopolar, Spin Echo bipolar, Stimulated Echo Acquisition Mode monopolar, Twice refocused and Twice refocused adjusted in MATHEMATICA.
- the diffusion weighted images of the congenital heart disease (CHD) specimens presented in the article from C. Tous et al (2020) in MATLAB
- the tractography of the CHD specimens presented in the article from C. Tous et al (2020) in MRTRIX
