A method of reducing signal drop-out in Gradient Echo
imaging using a Hyperbolic Secant pulse was developed
and tested at 7T. The coronal images showed reduced
signal drop-out in the brain-stem, inferior temporal
lobe, and the cerebellum, producing images of superior
visual quality in human subjects.
