APPARATUS, METHOD AND COIL ARRAY FOR PROVIDING SPLIT PARALLEL TRANSMISSION MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

摘要

An exemplary coil arrangement can be provided that can include a lateral coil array(s) configured to transmit a set of tailored pulses, and a contralateral coil array(s) configured to transmit the pulses. The lateral coil array(s) and the contralateral coil(s) array can be substantially identical. The pulses can include a set of radio frequency tailored pulses. The lateral coil array(s) and the contralateral coil array(s) can be further configured to transmit a radio frequency shim. A radio frequency shield can be included which can he associated with one of the arrays, and can be located between medial coils. The set of tailored pulses can be parallel pulses. The coil arrangement can be configured to be used at at least about 7 Tesla. The lateral coil array(s) can include at least 2 lateral coils. The contralateral coil array(s) can include at least 2 contralateral coils.
