Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Radiofrequency (RF) Pulse Design
  • Spin Manipulation

Background:

  • Adiabatic pulses are crucial for magnetization inversion, especially when facing radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity.
  • Existing adiabatic pulses may struggle to achieve wide bandwidth inversion efficiently within short durations and limited B1 amplitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an efficient adiabatic inversion pulse for selective magnetization inversion over a large frequency bandwidth in a short time.
  • To demonstrate the pulse's ability to control and trade off pulse duration against transition width.
  • To showcase the pulse's superiority over conventional sech/tanh adiabatic pulses.

Main Methods:

  • The pulse is constructed in two steps: determining the optimal trajectory and then the optimal rate of motion along that trajectory.
