Multiphoton Parallel Transmit MRI for Flip Angle Mitigation Without SAR Concerns
High-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excitation performed using a standard birdcage volume coil suffers from a flip angle inhomogeneity problem. For example, in 7 T brain MRI, such an excitation has a flip angle as much as three-fold higher in the center of the head than near the periphery. T...
