Synopsis

Keywords: High-Field MRI, Parallel Transmit & MultibandUltra-high field 7T MRI provides a significant increase in signal-to-noise ratio and contrast for noninvasively visualizing the brain, but is challenging to use for whole-brain imaging. In this study, we investigated the clinical potential of parallel transmission universal pulses (UP) for improving visualization of whole-brain structures and pathology. Our results show that UP enables remarkable signal contrast improvement throughout the brain, which is promising to improve lesion detection (e.g., brain metastases) and structures visualization over the whole brain.
