Z-segmentation of a transmit array head coil improves RF ramp pulse design at 7T
Résumé
In Time-Of-Flight sequences, ramp pulses such as TONE's are frequently used to compensate for thru-slab blood flow saturation in cerebral MRA. At Ultra High Field, fast-kz spokes in parallel transmission allow to mitigate B1 + heterogeneities in the slab selection process. Here we extend their use for TONE pulses and show improvement of the flip angle ramp fidelity with a homemade z-segmented head array in comparison to a purely azimuthally-distributed commercial coil.
