Reduction of inflow contamination in VASO at 9.4 T with optimized adiabatic inversion pulses and advanced pTx- and B0-shimming. Panel A) illustrates the influence of inflow effects on VASO at 9.4 T compared to 7 T. Panel B) shows that most of the inflow effects at 9.4 T can be minimized/removed by adjusting the inversion pulse parameters to the given B1+ and B0 constraints (C). Here, inflow effects could be reduced by adjusting the pulse parameters to be more conservative with respect to B1+ inhomogeneities and less conservative with respect to B0 inhomogeneities.
