Slice selection - edges aren’t exactly hard f G = 12 mT/m = 1.2 G/cm = * x * G x BW thk = BW/GSS Frequency profile of pulse = spatial profile of slice

Image: But not really ... With the short read-out, the distortion would be much less noticeable. This acquisition had a short TE (using partial Fourier acquisition) but was not a segmented acquisition, so has more distortion than advertised.
