Variable-rate design of quieter slice-select pulses

Slice-select pulses can be made quieter by derating them, i.e. by reducing gradient slew rate and/or amplitude (along with RF bandwidth), but this increases minimum echo time. The variable-rate principle is used here to design sliceselect pulses with improved acoustic signature and with identical slice profiles on-resonance, without lengthening pulse duration.
