TSE images obtained around the lead using quadrature and IF patterns in the phantom are shown. Quadrature pattern results in a signal loss mainly due to over-flipping of the spins at the vicinity of the lead. Axial image shows improved image quality as a result of using the IF pattern. In addition, IF pattern reduced the contact temperature significantly in comparison to quadrature excitation.
