چکیده
projected approach. Note that the actual k-space trajectory follows well with the nominal one, indicating eddy current is not a problem for our design on our scanner. Figure 1: (a) Nonselective spiral (SPINS) trajectory. (b) Output trajectory in the proposed joint design for the cube excitation. The proposed joint design selective traverses regions in the k-space that need high energy deposition.

Sparsity-Enforced Joint Spiral Trajectory & RF Excitation Pulse Design
INTRODUCTION. Algorithms have recently been proposed that jointly optimize excitation k-space trajectories & RF excitation pulses [1-4]. Each relies on a small-tip-angle assumption and has been shown to produce higher-quality excitations or shorter excitation pulses than conventional 3D spoke-based [1,2], 2D echo-planar (EP) [3], and 2D spiral trajectories [4]. Here we propose a sparsity-enforc...
متن کاملJoint design of trajectory and RF pulses for parallel excitation.
We propose an alternating optimization framework for the joint design of excitation k-space trajectory and RF pulses for small-tip-angle parallel excitation. Using Bloch simulations, we show that compared with conventional designs with predetermined trajectories, joint designs can often excite target patterns with improved accuracy and reduced total integrated pulse power, particularly at high ...
متن کاملSequential Optimal Spoke Selection for Spoke Trajectory Based RF Pulses Design in Parallel Excitation
INTRODUCTION: The spoke trajectory [1,2] is a preferred choice of k-space trajectory in designing 3D RF pulses for applications requiring thin slice selection and tailored in-plane excitation. It typically consists of several spokes of samples, each spoke extensively covering the kz (throughplane) axis at a distinct (kx,ky) (in-plane axes) location. Ideally, a large number of spokes should be u...

متن کاملRF Pulse Design for Parallel Excitation
1. Introduction Parallel excitation has been introduced as a means of accelerating multi-dimensional, spatially-selective excitation using multiple transmit coils, each driven by a unique RF pulse (1,2). In a manner analogous to parallel imaging, parallel excitation allows the use of a reduced excitation k-space trajectory (7) to achieve a desired excitation pattern, by exploiting the blurring ...
