To increase granularity in human neuroimaging science, we designed and built a next-
generation 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scanner to reach ultra-high resolution by …

This paper reviews the field of multiple or parallel radiofrequency (RF) transmission for
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Currently the use of ultra-high field (UHF) MRI at 7 tesla …

Parallel transmission (pTX) techniques are required to tackle a number of challenges, eg,
the inhomogeneous distribution of the transmit field and elevated specific absorption rate …

Purpose To predict subject‐specific local specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions of the
human head for parallel transmission (pTx) systems at 7 T. Theory and methods …

Purpose To increase the RF coil performance and RF management for body imaging at 10.5
T by validating and evaluating a high‐density 16‐channel transceiver array, implementing …

The purpose of this work is to propose a tier‐based formalism for safety assessment of
custom‐built radio‐frequency (RF) coils that balances validation effort with the effort put in …

Purpose High permittivity dielectric pads are known to be effective for tailoring the RF field
and improving image quality in high field MRI. Despite a number of studies reporting benign …

Purpose The purpose of this work was to design and build a coil for quadri‐nuclear MRI of
the human brain at 7 T. Methods We built a transmit/receive triple‐tuned (45.6 MHz for 2^ 2 …

Purpose Testing an RF coil prototype on subjects involves laborious verifications to ensure
its safety. In particular, it requires preliminary electromagnetic simulations and their …

Purpose Transmit arrays for body imaging have characteristics of both volume and local
transmit coils. This study evaluates two specific absorption rate (SAR) aspects, local and …
