Synopsis

Keywords: Arterial spin labelling, Arterial spin labelling, Pulsed ASLThe increased power deposition and inhomogeneity of $$$\Delta{B_0}$$$ and $$$B_1^+$$$ fields limit the application of ASL at 7T. A new type of asymmetric adiabatic pulses, Hybrid Adiabatic Pulses with asYmmetry (HAPY) along with its optimisation scheme, is proposed in this study. In simulation and phantom experiments, the proposed HAPY pulse demonstrates RF labelling pulse energy reduction and high labelling efficiency under challenging $$$\Delta{B_0}$$$ and $$$B_1^+$$$ conditions. In vivo experiments show the successful application of PICORE-PASL with HAPY labelling pulses in 7T ASL with increased temporal resolution.
