In this study, the feasibility of 2D spiral-encoded parallel excitation of limited slice profiles was investigated. The imaging experiments were performed in phantoms on a 3T MRI system with 8 RF channels for transmission and compared to 2D parallel excitation using EPI encoding. The resulting profiles revealed that 2D spiral-encoded parallel excitation is more robust against B1 deviations compared to EPI.
