Abstract
Embodiments can provide a method for multi-banded RF-pulse enhanced magnetization imaging, the method comprising determining, by a processor, a frequency offset against a central frequency by specifying an offset frequency for one or more RF coils close to a frequency peak of mobile water; and simultaneously applying, by one or more RF coils, one or more bands of Gaussian RF pulses around the central frequency to a patient from a medical imaging device; wherein the one or more bands of Gaussian RF pulses are symmetrically applied having a distance from the central frequency equal to the frequency offset.
