## Abstract Accurate rules have been established to build binomial pulses up to fifth order, for selectively saturating protons at any given __T__~2~ with minimum power deposition. Pulse performance and sensitivity to experimental defects have been evaluated; the third order is generally found to b

## Abstract Pulsed magnetization transfer and continuous wave irradiation techniques are analyzed and compared for saturation efficiency and radio‐frequency (RF) power requirements at 1.5 and 0.5 T. Binomial RF pulses transmitted on resonance are a more power‐efficient method of exciting saturation
## Abstract Saturating irradiation far off‐resonance can lead to diminution in the water signal seen in MRI, giving rise to magnetization transfer contrast. This results from transfer of magnetization between “solid” protons with restricted motion, which give rise to a band some tens of kilohertz w
## Abstract More efficient use of RF power for RF‐intensive applications such as magnetization transfer (MT) is necessary at high field strength (3.0 T or greater) to keep the specific absorption rate (SAR) within regulatory limits. It has been demonstrated that RF power deposition can be reduced w
## Abstract Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging with a rapid gradientecho sequence and pulsed saturation provides an efficient means of acquiring high resolution three‐dimensional data __in vivo.__ This paper presents a derivation of the theoretical steady‐state signal equation for this sequence ba
## Abstract The effects of RF pulse parameters on magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) were investigated using a magnetization prepared segmented fast gradient echo sequence. MTC was found not to be uniquely determined by the specific absorption rate (SAR). RF pulse parameters (RF amplitude, numbe
