Abstract
⺠We explore the potential of parallel-transmission for human brain MRI at high field. ⺠Different transmission methods at 7 T are compared to the standard MP-RAGE at 3 T. ⺠Parallel transmission improves image quality while reducing energy deposition. ⺠Contrast losses due to RF inhomogeneities vanish with kT-point tailored pulses. ⺠KT-points applied in MP-RAGE at 7 T produce T1-contrasts equivalent to standard 3 T.
