An optimization aimed at shortening pulse durations was carried out for three types of adiabatic spin-lock pulses by means of Bloch simulation. The variance of a part of the trajectory of Mz with respect to a range of off-resonance values was calculated to find the optimal pulse parameters and decent T1ρ-weighted imaging and T1ρ mapping results were obtained.
