An improvement to the method for imaging with extremely inhomogeneous radio-frequency fields is presented which uses a pseudo-noise-modulated selective (PNMS) excitation prepulse to randomize the signal from outside the selected slice. This prepulse reduces the problems that arise from imperfect subtraction involved with the one-dimensional ISIS-type slice selection procedures. The results demonstrate two to three times improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio and reduction in the image artifacts when this prepulse is used.
本文提出了一种针对极不均匀射频场成像方法的改进，该方法使用伪噪声调制选择性（PNMS）激发预脉冲使所选切片之外的信号随机化。这种预脉冲减少了一维ISIS型切片选择程序中因减法不完善而产生的问题。结果表明，使用该预脉冲时，信噪比提高了两到三倍，图像伪影减少。
