## Abstract We introduce a selective adiabatic pulse sequence suitable for generating selective spin‐echoes for both MR imaging and spectroscopy. The technique is simple; one uses the echo generated by any pair of identical selective adiabatic inversion pulses. The nonlinear phase across the slice

Surface coils are widely used in localized spectroscopy closely approximate the numerically optimized functions (6, 7) and, as a function of time t, are given by and imaging experiments in vivo due to the improved sensitivity they afford compared to volume coils. However, the RF homogeneity of surfa
## Abstract The echo‐planar __k__‐space trajectory can be used as the basis for any two‐dimensional selective pulse. The main application is spectral‐spatial pulses, which must be based on the echoplanar trajectory. In this paper we show how echo‐planar spinecho (EPSE) pulses may be designed.
Adiabatic RF pulses play an important role in spin inversion where G is the adiabatic parameter due to their robust behavior in presence of inhomogeneous RF fields. These pulses are characterized by the trajectory swept by the tip of the B eff vector and the rate of motion upon it. In this paper, a
## Abstract Using the technique of separable __k__‐space excitation, we have designed a two‐dimensional selective adiabatic pulse that inverts magnetization from a square region in the __xy__ plane with insensitivity to RF variations. We also have designed a two‐dimensional adiabatic pulse that inv
