✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Self‐refocusing slice selective radio frequency pulses could potentially be used to reduce imaging times in rapid gradient‐echo sequences. However, in practice, the improvement is likely to be no greater than about 20%, and at the expense of much increased radio frequency power requirements.

Theoretical and experimental results are presented demonstrating that the slice intensity resulting from a self-refocusing 270" Gaussian pulse (L. Elmsley and G. Bodenhausen, Magn. Reson. in Med. 10, 273, 1989) is approximately 60% of that following an appropriately refocused 90" GaUSSian pulse.

## Abstract Single‐shot techniques have preferentially been adopted for diffusion‐weighted imaging due to their reduced sensitivity to bulk motion. However, the limited spatial resolution achievable results in orientational signal averaging within voxels containing a distribution of fibers. This le
