Abstract

Purpose: The use of high-field MRI scanners has introduced new challenges for cardiac imaging, associated with B1- and B0-field inhomogeneities. A dual – source RF transmission system may help reduce dielectric effects, thus improving image contrast and reducing local SAR peaks of cardiac TSE and SSFP sequences, thereby allowing a shorter minimum TR and TE of SSFP sequences. Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of dual – source parallel RF transmission with patient adaptive RF-shimming on image quality and diagnostic confidence for routine clinical CMR using a 3.0 T dual – channel transmit whole – body MRI system.
