TL;DR

It is shown here that three‐dimensional π pulses are feasible on commercial imaging machines provided that the range of offresonance frequencies are limited.

Abstract

In theory, multidimensional pulses can be designed to be selective in any number of dimensions. In practice, available gradient power has enforced a limit to two dimensions. We show here that three-dimensional pi pulses are feasible on commercial imaging machines provided that the range of off-resonance frequencies are limited.

Using a k‐space interpretation of small‐tip excitation, a single excitation pulse has been designed that is simultaneously selective in space and resonant frequency that has been applied to a rapid gradient‐echo imaging sequence that forms both water and fat images within a breath‐holding interval.
