Calibration‐Free GRAPE pTx Pulses for Homogeneous Spatial‐Selective Excitation at 7T
Spatially-selective universal GRAPE pulses exhibit superior performance compared to k <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow></mml:mrow> <mml:mrow><mml:mi>T</mml:mi></mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {}_T $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> -spokes pulses. These short and robust pTx pulses hold potential for enhancing a wide range of imaging applications, thereby advancing 7T MRI technology closer to clinical use.
