FIG. 2

2-D spatial parallel excitation profiles are compared for original, VERSE, and reVERSE pulses. The RF pulse was initially designed with the information given in Fig. 1 and the VERSE reshaping aimed to reduce the peak |B1,n| from 1.25 to 0.25. The VERSE pulse distorted the profile (better appreciated in the My magnetization), which was successfully corrected by the reVERSE pulse after four iterations. Zoomed-in versions of central subpulses (indicated by the dotted boxes in Fig. a, g, and i) are compared for coil 2 in the gray box.
