What this code does
This Matlab code (no MEX, no GPU code) computed least-squares and magnitude least-squares pTx spoke pulses. The MLS problem can be solved using the phase adoption approach of Setsompop et al. or a full optimization strategy (see the file spokes_3/run_spokes.m and options therein). Spokes can be optimized for several frequencies (spatio-spectral design) in order to build in robustness to off-resonance effects.
