متن کاملComparison of Whole Body Transmit Coil Configurations for RF Shimming at 3T
Introduction Whole body MRI at 3T may be impeded by B1 transmit field inhomogeneities caused by the dielectric shortening of the RF wavelength [1]. RF shimming techniques based on parallel transmission [2,3] can strongly improve the image quality in clinical whole body applications [4]. In this context, it is an important question, how the RF shimming performance depends on the chosen coil topo...

متن کاملReduction of transmitter B1 inhomogeneity with transmit SENSE slice-select pulses.
Parallel transmitter techniques are a promising approach for reducing transmitter B1 inhomogeneity due to the potential for adjusting the spatial excitation profile with independent RF pulses. These techniques may be further improved with transmit sensitivity encoding (SENSE) methods because the sensitivity information in pulse design provides an excitation that is inherently compensated for tr...
متن کامل8-Channel Eigenmode Tx-Array at 3T for Tx-SENSE
Introduction Tx-SENSE is used to reduce the pulse length of 2D and 3D spatially selective RF pulses. The design of array coils for Tx-SENSE applications is complimentary to the design of an array for Rx parallel MRI. Therefore, Tx-array elements that have B1 field distributions that are completely orthogonal may allow the complimentary effect of data compression [1] but on the transmit side for...
