Synopsis

In this work, we propose to extend the capacities of ultra-low SAR protocol used in coil design. A developed restricted SAR protocol holds the worst-case SAR below the threshold by constraining the total transmitted RF power. Since SAR reflects tissue heating, we exploit a conservative thermal model to derive relaxed SAR constraints depending on acquisition time. This enables to extend the options available for sequences played under this mode, including fat suppression, higher image resolution, or decreased TR.
