Synopsis
The 128-channel receive, 16-channel parallel transmit capabilities of the new NexGen 7T system, in conjunction with the high amplitude and slew rate of the novel “Impulse” head gradient coil, provide many potential benefits for high-resolution 3D neuroimaging. High channel array coils allow acceleration on two phase encoded axes for very high total acceleration factors, and faster gradients can reduce image readout time for additional benefits. We demonstrate these benefits in different 3D imaging applications (MP2RAGE, FLAIR, FLASH, SWI) at 7T.
