Table 1. Nominal values of the initial excitation angle (p0), flip angle of each sub-pulse (α), total flip angle (TotalFA), B₁+ intensity, total duration of the RF-pulses, echo times (TE) and repetition times (TR) for the experiments performed in phantom and in vivo, at 3.0 T and 7.0 T, with methods A–E.

Method	p0	α	TotalFA	Total Duration	B1+ intensity	TE	TR [ms] at 3.0 T	TR [ms] at 7.0 T
	[deg]	[deg]	[deg]	[µs]	[µT]	[ms]	phantom/in vivo	phantom/in vivo
A	-	20	120	600	13.0	1.55	30/30	110/110
B	-	40	120	600	13.0	1.42	30/30	110/110
C	20	15	140	490	14.6	1.47	30/30	110/110
D	20	250	270	4250	4.14	5.21	30/30	110/110
E	-	45	90	325	18.1	1.25	30/30	110/110
DAM	-	60	60	300	13.0	2.00	500/6000	500/6000
		120	120	600	13.0		500/6000	500/6000

Also the parameters for the comparison with the DAM are listed. The echo times are calculated relatively to the center of the first sub-pulse for each method.
