  • Patent number: 11221384
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for producing a radio frequency (RF) pulse for use in magnetic resonance. The steps of the method include providing a computer system and a set of RF input parameters. The computer system then generates an optimal phase surface by iteratively updating an initial RF pulse profile based at least in part on the set of RF input parameters. The optimal phase surface contains a set of iteratively generated RF pulse profiles with various characteristics, such as bandwidths or selectivity. The steps of the method further include selecting an RF pulse profile with the computer system based on a search on the optimal phase surface, which can be implemented with the help of an index file. The search can be performed using an artificial intelligence algorithm, and can retrieve the shortest pulse profile that satisfies user input parameters or requirements.
