Table 1.

The minimum flip angle βmin required to saturate Mz,γ-ATP to below 5% of its equilibrium value over a bandwidth of 40Hz with the corresponding PCr spill-over Q for constant (m=1) and amplitude modulated (m=5) irradiation at 9cm depth and at the surface. Close to the coil, the flip-angle is about 6-times higher, increasing the spillover irradiation and reducing Q.

βmin at 9cm depth 1 5.1 0.81
5 0.9 0.93
at surface 6*βmin 1 30.6 0.11
