Correcting for strong eddy current induced B0 modulation enables two-spoke RF pulse design with parallel transmission: demonstration at 9.4T in the human brain.

Correcting for strong eddy current induced B0 modulation enables two-spoke RF pulse design with parallel transmission: demonstration at 9.4T in the human brain.

Successful implementation of homogeneous slice-selective RF excitation in the human brain at 9.4T using 16-channel parallel transmission (pTX) is demonstrated. A novel three-step pulse design method incorporating fast real-time measurement of eddy current induced B0 variations as well as correction...
