Abstract

A novel RF pulse for the steady-state sequence, small-tip fast recovery (STFR), that improves signal loss from inhomogeneity effects by employing a spectral-spatial design pattern computed from an acquired field map. Results include improved signal recovery and lower SAR compared to a purely spectral design.
