✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A pulse synthesis algorithm is described that allows for the synthesis of selective radio frequency pulses requiring less peak power. The pulses thus synthesized have the same duration, total energy, and frequency response as those synthesized by the standard algorithm. Their phase function is, however, different. The power reduction is typically on the order of 60–70%. This modification will increase the utility of optimized selective pulses.

## Abstract A novel radio‐frequency (RF) pulse design algorithm is presented that generates fast slice‐selective excitation pulses that mitigate __B__ inhomogeneity present in the human brain at high field. The method is provided an estimate of the __B__ field in an axial slice of the brain and the

## Abstract We introduce a selective adiabatic pulse sequence suitable for generating selective spin‐echoes for both MR imaging and spectroscopy. The technique is simple; one uses the echo generated by any pair of identical selective adiabatic inversion pulses. The nonlinear phase across the slice

## Abstract Adiabatic pulses are useful in achieving uniform excitation profiles in the presence of B~1~‐inhomogeneity. At higher fields, this inhomogeneity becomes more severe, further amplifying the need for B~1~‐insensitive excitation. Although gradient modulation techniques for slice‐selective

## Abstract Recently, theoretical and experimental work has shown that parallel transmission of RF pulses can be used to shorten the duration of multidimensional spatially‐selective pulses and compensate for __B__~1~ field inhomogeneity. However, all the existing noniterative methods can design onl
