Large gains in SNR through the application of Shinnar-Le Roux RF pulse design to short-TR spin-echo fMRI acquisitions at 7 T
{{output}}
Purpose: The optimal excitation flip angle (FA) for short-TR spin-echo acquisitions can be well above 90°, far beyond the small FAs suited for commonly-used sinc RF pulses. The goal of this study was to characterize the benefits... ...
