Trajectory Optimization and Machine Learning Radiofrequency Pulses for Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging

High field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers several advantages over imaging at low field strengths, namely increased spectral resolution, better contrast due to longer T1 relaxation, higher signal to noise ratio (SNR), and better parallel imaging performance. However, many imaging techniques...
