Abstract
A family of new onโresonance saturation pulses for magnetization transfer in MRI is proposed. These pulses can be represented as a product of a shaped function and a cosine function. The shaped function can have many different forms, one of which is a Gaussian function. The experimental results on a 1.0 T whole body scanner show that the new onโresonance pulses are more efficient for magnetization transfer than either onโresonance binomial sequence pulses or offresonance Gaussian pulses at the same power level.
