Prediction
of parallel transmission RF pulse power deposition into a patient is one of
the principal challenges at ultra-high field magnetic strength. We introduced real time calibration system
to predict the net power consequences of the parallel transmission RF pulse
design before employing designed RF pulses into scanner. High accuracy was
achieved in the power deposition
estimation of designed RF pulses with respect to actual net power
measurements.
