Pulse sequence diagram of the proposed external calibration acquisition. The maximum gradient amplitude during RF excitation is limited to a maximum value of GRF to prevent slice-selectivity artifacts and signal excitation loss near metallic implants. Immediately after excitation, gradients are ramped, allowing calibration acquisitions with ultrashort echo times.
