Despite of the recent advances in parallel transmission
RF pulse design for local and global SAR management, to
the best of our knowledge errors in the transmit chain
have never been taken into account. We present a method
to design pTx pulses that satisfy the SAR limits using
the knowledge about the transmit chain fidelity. This
method has been validated for spokes pulses using
simulated data for a 3Tbody coil with 8 Tx channels and
a 7T head array with 8 channels.
