Design of universal parallel‐transmit refocusing kT‐point pulses and application to 3D T2‐weighted imaging at 7T

T2‐weighted sequences are particularly sensitive to the radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity problem at ultra‐high‐field because of the errors accumulated by the imperfections of the train of refocusing pulses. As parallel transmission (pTx) has proved particularly useful to counteract RF heterogeneities, universal pulses were recently demonstrated to save precious time and computational efforts by skipping B1 calibration and online RF pulse tailoring. Here, we report a universal RF pulse design for non‐selective refocusing pulses to mitigate the RF inhomogeneity problem at 7T in turbo spin‐echo sequences with variable flip angles.
