-====== Standard CEST protocols ====== 
- 
-We want to hint that there is a more detailed and growing site for standard protocols based on pulseq here 
-[[https://github.com/kherz/pulseq-cest|https://github.com/kherz/pulseq-cest]] 
- 
-We recommend to follow this site in the future for standardization of protocols. 
- 
- 
-below you find the old information, which will at some point be removed for the sake of pulse-cest. 
- 
----- 
-B1 definitions here are the flip angle equivalent (pure FA), thus the average B1 of a **single** saturation pulse. 
-This also means that the flip angle of each saturation pulse is directly given by FA = B1·γ·t_p 
- 
-t_p  = duration of a single saturation pulse, 
-t_sat = total time of the saturation pulse train
