To realize the increased pTx functionality of a 16-channel transceiver dipole array for body imaging at 10.5T, a validation process was implemented. After quantifying the uncertainty of the RF arrays electromagnetic simulations a total safety factor was determined enabling the implementation of real-time local SAR monitoring on the scanner through use of virtual observation points (VOP). In vivo data was acquired with the VOP enabled power monitoring demonstrating local RF shimming performance with and without local SAR constrained optimizations.
