    AbstractFollowing the development of parallel imaging, parallel transmission describes the use of multiple RF transmit coils. Parallel transmission can be applied to improve RF excitation, in particular, multidimensional, spatially selective RF excitation. For instance, parallel transmission is able to shorten spatially selective RF pulses in two or three dimensions, or to minimize the occurring SAR. One potential major application might be the compensation of patient-induced B(1) inhomogeneities, particularly at high main fields. This paper provides an overview of selected aspects of this new transmission approach. The basic principles of parallel transmission are discussed, initial experimental proofs are described, and the impact of error propagation on coil design for parallel transmission is outlined.Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
