SELF CALIBRATING PARALLEL TRANSMISSION BY SPIN DYNAMIC FINGERPRINTING

摘要

A general framework is for signal encoding in MRF that enables simultaneous transmit and receive encoding to accelerate the acquistion process, or improve the fidelity of the final image/parameter-map per unit scan time. The proposed method and systems capitalize on the distinct spatial variations in the sensitivity profile of each transmit-coil to reduce the acquistion time, and/or improve the fidelity of the final parameter-map per unit time.
