Calculation of optimal parameters for 19F MRI

This paper presents a method for optimizing the parameters of the scanning pulse sequences for MRI in relation to objects with a wide NMR spectrum. In this case, a broadband excitation of the spin system is difficult because of hardware limitations. It is proposed to apply the selective excitation, the optimum parameters of which are calculated by an algorithm that uses information concerning the NMR spectrum. The method is especially useful for 19F MRI of fluorocarbons.
