A novel RF pulse for the steady-state sequence,
small-tip fast recovery (STFR), that improves signal
loss from inhomogeneity effects by employing a
spectral-spatial design pattern computed from an
acquired field map. Results include improved signal
recovery and lower SAR compared to a purely spectral
design.
