ABSTRACT:
A time-optimal MRI gradient design method utilizes constrained optimization to design minimum-time gradient waveforms that satisfy gradient amplitude and slew-rate limitations. Constraints are expressed as linear equations which are solved using linear programming, L1-norm formulation, or second-order cone programming (SOCP).
