Code package to calculate and use the gradient impulse response function (GIRF) of an MRI gradient system.
The basic functionality for GIRF calculation and trajectory prediction is demonstrated in 'DemoGirf.m' in the test-folder. Make sure that the folders 'classes' and 'utils' are on the Matlab path.
If you use this code package for your research, please cite at least one of the following papers (depending on the use case):
