By combining a transmit/receive surface coil array using serial transmission of individual coils with a total generalized variation reconstruction of images from all coils, acceptable quality human brain imaging is demonstrated.B0 is shimmed using sodium MR imaging (105.4 MHz) with a birdcage coil. Proton MR imaging is performed with an excitation/receive array of surface coils. The modified FLASH pulse sequence transmits serially across each coil within the array thereby distributing SAR in time and space. All coils operate in receive mode. Although the excitation profile of each transmit coil is non-uniform, the sensitivity profile estimated from the non-transmit receive coils provides an acceptable sensitivity correction. Signals from all coils are combined in a total generalized variation (TGV) reconstruction to provide a full field of view image at maximum signal to noise (SNR) performance.High-resolution images across the human head are demonstrated with acceptable uniformity and SNR.Proton MR imaging of the human brain is possible with acceptable uniformity at low SAR at 9.4 Tesla using this serial excitation and parallel reception strategy with TGV reconstruction. 000136903 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-315$$a315 - Imaging and radiooncology (POF3-315)$$cPOF3-315$$fPOF III$$x0 000136903 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000136903 7001_ $$aMa, Chao$$b1 000136903 7001_ $$aSun, Chenhao$$b2 000136903 7001_ $$aAtkinson, Ian C$$b3 000136903 7001_ $$aClaiborne, Theodore$$b4 000136903 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)b8678d0841b587098d787b52c38ba439$$aUmathum, Reiner$$b5$$udkfz 000136903 7001_ $$aWright, Steven M$$b6 000136903 7001_ $$aLiang, Zhi-Pei$$b7 000136903 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1469665-4$$a10.1016/j.jmr.2018.05.009$$gVol. 293, p. 145 - 153$$p145 - 153$$tJournal of magnetic resonance$$v293$$x1090-7807$$y2018 000136903 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:136903$$pVDB 000136903 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)b8678d0841b587098d787b52c38ba439$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b5$$kDKFZ 000136903 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-315$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vImaging and radiooncology$$x0 000136903 9141_ $$y2018 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bJ MAGN RESON : 2015 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000136903 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000136903 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)E020-20160331$$kE020$$lMedizinische Physik in der Radiologie$$x0 000136903 980__ $$ajournal 000136903 980__ $$aVDB 000136903 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)E020-20160331 000136903 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
