Technical data

TimTX TrueForm

•

Innovative techniques in the RF excitation hardware

•

Uniform RF distribution in all body regions

TrueForm excitation uses amplitude and phase transmission settings optimized for
dedicated body regions. Feeding the 2 ports of the integrated body coil with an opti-
mized weighting yields a homogeneous B1 distribution

a-SPACE

A version of the SPACE sequence. a-SPACE uses composite
adiabatic excitation pulses, which are insensitive to B1
spatial variations

B1 Filter

An adaptive inline image filter that reduces any remnant
B1 effects without affecting image contrast

RF receiver technology

Number of coil elements

Up to 204

Number of independent receiver chan-
nels

48, 64

, 128

Quadrature demodulation and filtering Digital

Receiver bandwidth

500 Hz–1 MHz (for each channel)

Receiver signal resolution
