Experimental data showing the ability of IMPULSE to produce a uniform flip angle map but also eliminate SAR / temperature hotspots unlike the SAR unaware pTx design method. Simulated peak local SAR is reduced by 72% and measured temperature at the hotspot location (marked by a dark circle) is 0.4 degrees Celsius lower while achieving nearly identical flip angle inhomogeneity (both simulated and measured).
