Abstract
A method for imaging a subject using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes determining a tailored radio frequency (RF) pulse sequence having a plurality of refocusing pulses. In the method, a target peak RF pulse value is determined and a transfer function to convert a first refocusing pulse of the plurality of refocusing pulses to a modified refocusing pulse with the target peak RF pulse value is also determined. A modified RF pulse sequence is generated based on the transfer function and the plurality of refocusing pulses. Finally, magnetic resonance (MR) signals from the subject are acquired based on the modified RF pulse sequence and the medical image of the subject is generated based on the acquired MR signals.
