<p>A method of reducing slice profile degradation due to gradient signal amplitude ripple, has steps of: sensing the gradient signal ripple amplitude; normalizing the sensed ripple signal amplitude responsive to the gradient amplitude commanded; and modulating the RF signal amplitude with the adjusted-amplitude ripple signal, to cause the RF and gradient magnetic fields to have an effective vector pointing substantially in the same direction, during the slice-selection interval, as would the effective field vector formed with a gradient field devoid of ripple. Apparatus for reducing the slice profile degradation modulates the RF signal with the ripple envelope obtained from the output of the gradient signal amplifier, by a signal controlled by the gradient amplifier input.</p> |
