SAR Benefits of Including E-field Interactions in Parallel RF Pulse Design
Introduction Electric field (E-field) interactions inside the object must be taken into account for specific absorption rate (SAR) management in parallel transmission systems [1]. At a recent conference, Zhu [2] introduced a new method to measure the E-field covariance matrix, Φ, in a rapid and subject-specific manner. RF pulse design that incorporates knowledge of Φ can result in reduced SAR w...

متن کاملRobust Parallel Excitation Pulse Design
Introduction Parallel excitation employs multiple transmit channels and coils, each driven by independent waveforms, to afford the pulse designer an additional spatial encoding mechanism, i.e., transmit sensitivity encoding, that complements gradient encoding. However, in contrast to parallel reception, parallel excitation requires individual high-power amplifiers for each transmit channel, whi...
متن کاملRF Pulse Design for Parallel Excitation
1. Introduction Parallel excitation has been introduced as a means of accelerating multi-dimensional, spatially-selective excitation using multiple transmit coils, each driven by a unique RF pulse (1,2). In a manner analogous to parallel imaging, parallel excitation allows the use of a reduced excitation k-space trajectory (7) to achieve a desired excitation pattern, by exploiting the blurring ...
متن کاملRF pulse design for parallel excitation in MRI
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have many people to thank. First, I would like to thank Doug Noll, for taking me on as a student five years ago. He is the best mentor I have ever had, and I look up to him as a model of what an engineer should be. He is creative, open-minded, friendly and excited about his work. I was blessed to have him as an advisor, and I am excited to be working in a field with people li...
