This is a matlab toolbox for designing parallel transmit (pTx) 2D RF pulses.
You may run the demo script, pTx2D.m, to grab an idea of how this toolbox can be used to design 2D pTx pulses to excite a "M" logo of the University of Minnesota in a spherical phantom.
If you use the toolbox, please consider citing the following paper:
