Electrocardiogram acquisition during MR examinations for patient monitoring and sequence triggering.

abstract：PURPOSE:T2 -weighted sequences are particularly sensitive to the radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity problem at ultra-high-field because of the errors accumulated by the imperfections of the train of refocusing pulses. As parallel transmission (pTx) has proved particularly useful to counteract RF heterogeneities, u...
