A new RF pulse synthesizer that is based on the Texas Instruments DAC5688 chip was used to create a consistent volumetric phase contrast imaging from the set of 2D slices. This DAC chip has a sufficient quality to create coherent transmit pulses and their reference waveforms for compensating the phase of different slices.
