Reproducibility of tailored and universal nonselective excitation pulses at <scp>7 T</scp> for human cardiac <scp>MRI</scp> : A 3‐year and an interday study
Although TPs showed advantages when tailored for a specific target volume, they struggled with long-term consistency and required lengthy calibration. The precomputed UP kT-points pulses proved to be the most consistent across all scans acquired in the 3 years by different operators, minimizing CV-data dispersion and maintaining FA uniformity.
