Ultimate intrinsic average global SAR for parallel excitations along a transverse FOV through the center of a homogeneous sphere, as a function of the acceleration factor. Each plot refers to a different size of the modeled sphere and shows the behavior for different values of the main magnetic field strength. A uniform, fully homogeneous concentric excitation profile with radius equal to the radius of the sphere was used in all cases.
