The response times of RF coils in MRI are long when operating at low B0 field, making it difficult to achieve the desired pulse shape in the coil. Compensation pulses are shown that were optimized using a series of square pulses. Both the duration and amplitude of the compensation elements were calculated with Q-factor which was calculated from the ring-down time measured using a sniffer coil. The SNRs of the echo signal acquired using compensated pulse was compared with those of signal obtained with uncompensated pulses and showed significant improvements of 51.5%.
