Relayed nuclear Overhauser enhancement imaging with magnetization transfer contrast suppression at 3 T.

abstract：PURPOSE:Spectrally selective "prewinding" radiofrequency pulses can counteract B0 inhomogeneity in steady-state sequences, but can only prephase a limited range of off-resonance. We propose spectral-spatial small-tip angle prewinding pulses that increase the off-resonance bandwidth that can be successfully prephased by...
