Normalized distribution (base-10 Log scale) of local SAR within the FOV during accelerated parallel excitations with current patterns optimized for global SAR in a 15 cm sphere. For each value of the main magnetic field strength, spatial distribution of ultimate intrinsic local SAR during excitation of the center of k-space is compared for various acceleration factors.
