Joint design of large-tip-angle parallel RF pulses and blipped gradient trajectories.
PURPOSE To design multichannel large-tip-angle kT-points and spokes radiofrequency (RF) pulses and gradient waveforms for transmit field inhomogeneity compensation in high field magnetic resonance imaging. THEORY AND METHODS An algorithm to design RF subpulse weights and gradient blip areas is proposed to minimize a magnitude least-squares cost function that measures the difference between re...
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 کاملAdditive angle method for fast large-tip-angle RF pulse design in parallel excitation.
Current methods for parallel excitation RF pulse design are based on the small-tip-angle approximation, which provides a computationally efficient means of pulse calculation. In general, pulses designed with those methods are inaccurate when scaled to produce large-tip angles, and methods for large-tip-angle pulse design are more computationally demanding. This paper introduces a fast iterative...
متن کاملMultidimensional Arbitrary-Flip-Angle Parallel Transmit Pulse Design Using an Optimal Control Approach
INTRODUCTION The majority of the design methods for parallel transmit radiofrequency (RF) pulses so far are based on small-tip-angle (STA) approximation of the Bloch equation [13]. These methods can design only excitation pulses with a small flip angle (≤ 90°). We have proposed a noniterative method to design large-tip-angle (LTA) parallel transmit pulses (> 90°), based on an extension of the s...
