          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.
