title: Nonlinear phase adjustment of selective excitation pulses.
abstract: A continuous transformation of an RF waveform with a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation or generalization can be used to adjust the phase behavior of a selective excitation pulse while preserving the magnitude behavior of the spin response. This transformation has applications in removing or adding to the nonlinear phase properties of a selected region.
