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 transfer and are easily implemented with any pulse sequence. Binomial pulses selectively excite all short T2 species and behave as 0° pulses for on‐resonance, long T2 species.
