Abstract

PURPOSE: Tailored parallel-transmit (pTx) pulses produce uniform excitation profiles at 7 T, but are sensitive to head motion. A potential solution is real-time pulse redesign. A deep learning framework is proposed to estimate pTx distributions following within-slice motion, which can then be used for tailored pTx pulse redesign.
