Simultaneous multislice multiband parallel radiofrequency excitation with independent slice-specific transmit B1 homogenization.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To develop a new parallel transmit (pTx) pulse design for simultaneous multiband (MB) excitation in order to tackle simultaneously the problems of transmit B1 (B1+) inhomogeneity and total radiofrequency (RF) power, so as to allow for optimal RF excitation when using MB pulses for slice acceleration for high and ultrahigh field MRI. METHODS:With the proposed approach, each of the bands that are simultaneously excited is subject to a band-specific set of B1 complex shim weights. The method was validated in the human brain at 7T using a 16-channel pTx system and was compared to conventional MB pulses operating in the circularly polarized (CP) mode. Further numerical simulations based on measured B1 maps were conducted. RESULTS:The new method improved B1+ homogeneity by 60% when keeping the total RF power constant and reduced total RF power by 72% when keeping the excitation fidelity constant, as compared to the conventional CP mode. CONCLUSION:A new pTx pulse design formalism is introduced targeting slice-specific B1+ homogenization in MB excitation while constraining total RF power. These pulses lead to significantly improved slice-wise B1+ uniformity and/or largely reduced total RF power, as compared to the conventionally employed MB pulses applied in the CP mode.
