This work presents a new spectral-spatial (SPSP)
parallel transmit pulse design method for 1H MRS
applications in ultra-high field MRI. Based on the
recently developed parallel transmission technology, the
pulse is first designed by using a subspace
preconditioned LSQR method in purpose of locating a
global minimum, and is afterwards optimized by using a
quasi-Newton based optimal control (OC) method to find a
local minimum answer. By combining these two algorithms
in this way, SPSP pulses that offer increased robustness
against B1+ inhomogeneity and minimized chemical shift
displacement artifacts can be achieved and therefore
adopted in MRS applications.
