چکیده
The article "A k-space analysis of small-tip-angle excitation" introduced a spatial frequency interpretation of the effect of RF excitation pulses. This introduction describes where the initial ideas for this paper came from, and traces out some of the applications that have been developed using this perspective.

Spatially selective RF excitation using k-space analysis
This project develops spatially selective RF excitation schemes, based on the excitation kspace principle (Pauly et al., 1987). In particular, we develop various k-space trajectories and weighting schemes, in order to excite cylindrical, spherical, and cubical volumes. The excitation pulses are inherenctly refocused, since the trajectories end at the origin of kspace. The analysis is based on a...
متن کاملFast and Accurate Large-Tip-Angle RF Pulse Design for Parallel Excitation Using a Perturbation Analysis of the Bloch Equation
Introduction: Designing RF pulses in parallel excitation (PTX) using the linear small-tip-angle approximation [1-3] produces distorted excitation patterns at large tip angles due to the nonlinear nature of the Bloch equation. Grissom et al [4] proposed the ‘Additive Angle’ (AA) method for large-tip-angle RF pulse as a means to improve upon the small-tip-angle approximation (STA). This iterative...
متن کاملSparsity-Enforced Joint Spiral Trajectory & RF Excitation Pulse Design
INTRODUCTION. Algorithms have recently been proposed that jointly optimize excitation k-space trajectories & RF excitation pulses [1-4]. Each relies on a small-tip-angle assumption and has been shown to produce higher-quality excitations or shorter excitation pulses than conventional 3D spoke-based [1,2], 2D echo-planar (EP) [3], and 2D spiral trajectories [4]. Here we propose a sparsity-enforc...
متن کاملIterative RF pulse design for multidimensional, small-tip-angle selective excitation.
The excitation k-space perspective on small-tip-angle selective excitation has facilitated RF pulse designs in a range of MR applications. In this paper, k-space-based design of multidimensional RF pulses is formulated as a quadratic optimization problem, and solved efficiently by the iterative conjugate-gradient (CG) algorithm. Compared to conventional design approaches, such as the conjugate-...
متن کاملSAR Benefits of Including E-field Interactions in Parallel RF Pulse Design
Introduction Electric field (E-field) interactions inside the object must be taken into account for specific absorption rate (SAR) management in parallel transmission systems [1]. At a recent conference, Zhu [2] introduced a new method to measure the E-field covariance matrix, Φ, in a rapid and subject-specific manner. RF pulse design that incorporates knowledge of Φ can result in reduced SAR w...
