Human Brain Imaging at 9.4 Tesla Using a Combination of Traveling Wave Excitation with a 15-channel Receive-only Array
Introduction The combination of a circularly polarized (CP) volume coil for spin excitation with a multi-channel receive-only array is a successful setup for routine human brain imaging at 7 Tesla. For reception, the use of multiple surface coils is important for a high SNR and for the utilization of parallel imaging techniques. For transmission, the main strength of the CP coil is the reasonab...

متن کاملImprovement in B1+ Homogeneity and Average Flip Angle Using Dual-Source Parallel RF Excitation for Cardiac MRI in Swine Hearts
Cardiac MRI may benefit from increased polarization at high magnetic field strength of 3 Tesla but is challenged by increased field inhomogeneity. Initial human studies have shown that the radiofrequency (RF) excitation field (B1+) used for signal excitation in the heart is both inhomogeneous and significantly lower than desired, potentially leading to image artifacts and biased quantitative me...
