This engineering study evaluated how different 7T parallel-transmit head coils and SAR supervision strategies affect nonselective pTx pulse design for a 3D-MPRAGE sequence. It reports that FOCUS pulses were more robust than universal pulses when applied across different coils, and that FOCUS inversion pulses…

This narrative piece states that MR neuroimaging does not interfere with brain function and is safe for use in patients and healthy volunteers. It argues that ultra-high-field MRI could substantially improve spatiotemporal resolution, potentially enabling study of brain function at finer scales. It also describes the…

This engineering study describes development of a patch antenna array coil (PAAC) intended to address short RF wavelength challenges in ultra-high-field (≥7T) MRI. A prototype PAAC for 7T proton imaging was used to image a monkey brain. The authors report that the imaging demonstrated the coil's utility for…
