Inner volume imaging can be appealing as it negates the need to encode a large field of view when the region of interest resides within a larger tissue structure. However, conventional zoom approaches with precisely limited field of view produce strong saturation throughout the image volume, placing a restrictive lower limit on the minimum TR, in order to avoid reduced signal and contrast. Here we present a new multiband tip-back preparation pulse in combination with a zoom multiband TSE sequence, which realises the benefits of reduced field of view encoding without the penalty of saturation in the intermediate slice areas.
