Quantifying the intra- and extravascular contributions to spin-echo fMRI at 3 T.

abstract：PURPOSE:We propose a constrained optimization approach for designing parallel transmit (pTx) pulses satisfying all regulatory and hardware limits. We study the trade-offs between excitation accuracy, local and global specific absorption rate (SAR), and maximum and average power for small flip-angle pTx (eight channels)...
