Synopsis

Keywords: RF Pulse Design & Fields, RF Pulse Design & FieldsThis study proposed a novel algorithm for designing multidimensional RF in spin-domain using auto-differentiation in PyTorch. Our algorithm uses spin-domain description of rotations to formulate the RF pulse design into optimization problems. We designed 3D refocusing pulses and verified the performance using spin-echo based sequences in phantom at 1.5T and in vivo in the brain at 3T.
