A three-dimensional spin-echo or inversion pulse

Magn Reson Med. 1993 Jan;29(1):2-6. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910290103.

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.
