Local SAR, global SAR, transmitter power and excitation accuracy trade-offs in low flip-angle parallel transmit pulse design

Purpose We propose a constrained optimization approach for designing parallel transmit (pTx) pulses satisfying all regulatory and hardware limits. We study the trade-offs between excitation accuracy, local and global specific absorption rate (SAR), and maximum and average power for small flip-angle...
