This work proposes a novel RF pulse design for parallel transmit (pTx) systems to obtain uniform saturation of semisolid magnetization for magnetization transfer (MT) contrast in the presence of transmit field B1+ inhomogeneities. The semisolid magnetization is usually modeled as being purely longitudinal, with the applied B1+ field saturating but not rotating its magnetization; thus, standard pTx pulse design methods do not apply.
