Acronyms
warning

"Cross-excitation artifact is a type of MRI artifact and refers to the loss of signal within a slice due to pre-excitation from RF pulse meant for an adjacent slice."

Line 1:155 · 'RF' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"The frequency profile of the RF pulse is imperfect; this means that during slice selection there is some degree of excitation of the adjacent slices as well. If that adjacent slice is imaged during the same TR (i.e., multi-slice imaging) or soon after (i.e., imaging without leaving a gap), it will be partially saturated, to begin with, and the resulting signal will be reduced. This phenomenon is more conspicuous in inversion recovery (180°) sequences."
