Abstract :
Dynamic MRI continues to grow in interest and capability with the introduction of 64 and 128 channel receivers, and, more recently, 8 and 16 channel parallel transmitters. This talk will describe progress in developing a 64 channel transmitter and applications in high-speed MR imaging, reaching 1000 frames per second.
