Multi-slice parallel transmission three-dimensional tailored RF (PTX 3DTRF) pulse design for signal recovery in ultra high field functional MRI

▸ Propose novel RF pulse design by combining 3DTRF method with parallel transmission. ▸ Extend pulse design strategy to multi-slice excitation with parallel computation. ▸ Advanced PTX 3DTRF shows better performance than standard but expensive computation. ▸ PTX 3DTRF presents efficient signal recovery at multiple locations during UHF fMRI.
