Saturation pulse design for quantitative myocardial T 1 mapping

Background: Quantitative saturation-recovery based T 1 mapping sequences are less sensitive to systematic errors than the Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery (MOLLI) technique but require high performance saturation pulses. We propose to optimize adiabatic and pulse train saturation pulses for quantitative T 1 mapping to have
