Another good way to decrease eddy current affects that are induced by a short gradient is<br />

to replace the gradient pulse with two gradient pulses of opposite polarity and half the<br />

duration separated by a 180º 1H pulse. This (Gz--180º--(-Gz) composite pulse<br />

combination self compensates for the induced eddy currents. The LED experiment with<br />

the bipolar pulse pairs should help reduce most of the eddy current effects. The BPP-<br />

LED sequence is shown below:<br />

Figure 4.1.3 The BPP-LED pulse sequence. On 1 H the thin solid black lines denote 90º<br />

pulses and the thicker solid black lines denote 180º. On Gz sine shaped gradients for<br />

coding and decoding are unfilled and spoil gradients for artifact suppression are filled<br />

with diagonal lines.<br />

The Bruker pulse program for this sequence is shown below:<br />
