Abstract

Radio frequency (RF) spectrally selective multiband pulses or tagging pulses, are applicable in a broad range of magnetic resonance methods. We demonstrate through simulations and experiments a new phase-modulation-only RF pulse for RF tagging based on the Frank poly-phase perfect sequence. In addition, we introduce an extended version with a WURST modulation (Frank-WURST). The new pulses exhibit interesting and flexible spin tagging properties and are easily implemented in existing MR sequences, where they can substitute slice-selective pulses with no additional alterations.
