Abstract
⺠A new family of short RF pulses for Bloch-Siegert (BS) |B1+| mapping is introduced. ⺠The pulses are shown to produce larger BS phase shifts than pulse currently utilized. ⺠They produce lower on-resonance excitation than pulses currently utilized. ⺠They result in improved |B1+| accuracy in areas with large B0 field inhomogeneities. ⺠Pulses result in lower SAR in areas with large B0 field inhomogeneities.
