  • Controlled excitation and saturation of magnetisation transfer systems
    Patent number: 11187768
    Abstract: The present invention relate to a system and associate method of MRI and MR spectroscopy which provide stable measurements of the relaxation times, T1 and T2, by using tailored multi-band RF pulses that direct control of the saturation conditions in the background pool of macro-molecular protons, and hence provide a flexible means to induce constant Magnetisation Transfer (MT) effects. In doing this, equal saturation of the background pool is obtained for all measurements independent of the parameters that may be changed, for example, the rotation rate used to obtain a desired flip angle, that is, the degree of change in the magnetisation of the free pool of protons.
