In this work, a new method of optimization is successfully applied to the theoretical design of compact, actively shielded, clinical MRI magnets. The problem is formulated as a two-step process in which the desired current densities on multiple, co-axial surface layers are first calculated by solvin

## Abstract A systematic study was performed to optimize the accuracy of kinetic parameters derived from magnetization transfer measurements. Three techniques were investigated: timeβdependent saturation transfer (TDST), saturation recovery (SRS), and inversion recovery (IRS). In the last two metho
