ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system and method of MR scan prescription to achieve in a fast, simple, and effective manner the optimal peak excitation field strength for a given pulse shape and flip angle such that the minimum TR for the MR scan can be optimized and based on SAR constraints. The present invention provides a technique to obtain optimal B1parameters for an arbitrary shape and flip angle of an excitation pulse in real-time while satisfying SAR and/or RF hardware limits to determine the minimum achievable repetition time for a pulse sequence. The present invention is particularly applicable with breath-hold and cardiac imaging techniques that are carried out at relatively high field strengths.
