Parallel transmission pulse design with explicit control for the specific absorption rate in the presence of radiofrequency errors

Purpose A new framework for the design of parallel transmit (pTx) pulses is presented introducing constraints for local and global specific absorption rate (SAR) in the presence of errors in the radiofrequency (RF) transmit chain. Methods The first step is the design of a pTx RF pulse with ex...
