Table 5.

Summary of the mean B1+, minimum B1+, coefficient of variation (CoV(B1+ROI)) across the entire heart of the human voxel models Duke and Ella, and the maximum SAR10g for the multiobjective phase and amplitude optimizer, with a trade-off between minimum B1+ in the heart and maximum SAR10g using self-grounded bow-tie (SGBT) antenna building block, bow-tie (BT) antenna building block, and fractionated dipole (FD) antenna RF arrays at 7.0 T (baseline, BL) and 14.0 T (same channel count, SCC, double channel count, DCC). The total RF power for the excitation vectors (Pfwd) is presented for a lossless 2 kW power at each channel
