#### C.8.14.2 MR Spectroscopy Pulse Sequence Module

The primary purpose of this module is to identify the pulse sequence and variations that were used in creation of the spectroscopic data. Terminology is intended to be neutral, and allow equivalent sequences provided by different vendors to be classified together.

Table C.8-103 specifies the attributes of the MR Spectroscopy Pulse Sequence Module.
