Excerpt

Image quality of cine imaging using steady state free precession (SSFP) sequences at 3T is insufficient due to increased RF-inhomogeneity (B1 field) and the high sensitivity of SSFP sequences to off-resonance artefacts. Recently, the introduction of a dual source RF transmission system with patient-adaptive local RF-shimming has led to a significant improvement of image quality of SSFP imaging at 3T. …
