Synopsis
Parallel transmission universal pulses (UPs) consist of pre-optimized RF pulse solutions mitigating the RF field inhomogeneity problem for a given RF coil. Optimized offline on a database of representative field maps, they are designed to be robust to intersubject variability and spare the user a cumbersome online calibration. Initially designed for the MAGNETOM 7T Classic system from Siemens Healthineers, with the RF coil being strictly identical, this abstract describes the set of transformations on the pulses necessary to meet the MAGNETOM Terra specifications as well as successful in vivo results already achieved at four Terra sites using the same UPs.
