Composite Slice-Selective 90' Excitation Pulses with Adiabaticity
Slice-selective adiabatic pulses are mostly confined to spin inversion and refocusing pulses. Here composite slice-selective 90" excitation pulses capable of multi-slice applications are proposed. This new class of pulses are based on halved adiabatic MIP pulses with each segment of the halved MIP pulses replaced by a small flip angle slice-selective plane rotation pulse such as a hamming-filte...
متن کاملSparse spokes slice selective design for B1 inhomogeneity correction at 7T
Introduction: At high magnetic field strength, B1 inhomogeneity causes undesired effects of non-uniformity in SNR and contrast. For slice selective excitation, 3D RF pulse design proposed in [1,2,3], can be used to mitigate this B1 inhomogeneity effect. These designs are based on playing kz sinc spokes of different amplitude at a number of (kx,ky) locations around the k-space origin. The sinc...
متن کاملFast slice-selective radio-frequency excitation pulses for mitigating B+1 inhomogeneity in the human brain at 7 Tesla.
A novel radio-frequency (RF) pulse design algorithm is presented that generates fast slice-selective excitation pulses that mitigate B+1 inhomogeneity present in the human brain at high field. The method is provided an estimate of the B+1 field in an axial slice of the brain and then optimizes the placement of sinc-like "spokes" in kz via an L1-norm penalty on candidate (kx, ky) locations; an R...

متن کاملAn Optimized Composite Refocusing Pulse for Ultra-High Field MRI
Purpose At high magnetic fields, the wavelengths of the RF pulses transmitted in MRI are comparable to the size of the human torso/head [1], which gives rise to inhomogeneous B1 fields. Variations of the RF field can be reduced (for example) by the use of tailored slice-selective pulses optimized for the desired excitation profile [2] based on spokes or an optimized composite pulse with slice s...
