Analytical approach to noncircular section birdcage coil design: verification with a Cassinian oval coil.

abstract：PURPOSE:We incorporate simultaneous multislice (SMS) acquisition into MR fingerprinting (MRF) to accelerate the MRF acquisition. METHODS:The t-Blipped SMS-MRF method is achieved by adding a Gz blip before each data acquisition window and balancing it with a Gz blip of opposing polarity at the end of each TR. Thus the ...
