A pulse sequence for use in steady state free precession (SSFP) imaging sequences includes a RF pulse and a time-varying gradient pulse based on a conventional design algorithm such as the Shinnar-LeRoux (SLR) pulse design algorithm and in which amplitude of the RF pulse and gradient pulse are increased while pulse time is decreased thereby reducing imaging time and improving slab profiles.
