Scalable spokes <scp>pTx</scp> pulses for <scp>2D</scp> turbo‐spin‐echo imaging at <scp>7 T</scp>
Scalable spokes pTx pulses produce flip angles that vary approximately linearly with peak voltage while maintaining consistent spatial patterns of phase. Together with their spatial flip-angle homogeneity, these pulses enable high-fidelity 2D slice-by-slice TSE imaging at 7 T, albeit with reduced slice coverage with our choice of homogeneity target under the current vendor-provided specific absorption rate constraints on 7 T MRI scanners.
