X parameter(s), the SAR Limit(s) Exceeded dialog box will appear. Step 10 - cine_trufi_retro_4CH 1 • Operating Mode shows the current operating mode. You can choose between Normal Mode or First Level mode. BORE Temperature 21,0 ºC 2 1 Operating Mode • Protocol Parameters shows the current solution options that lower the SAR below the threshold. Current Measurement Normal Mode • Example: We set the TR to 650ms and the Flip Angle to 90 degrees (see Next Measurement Normal Mode Tra: screenshot on page before). If the SAR Assistant TR maximum value set isn't First Level high enough to resolve the SAR issue, then the SAR Limit(s) Exceeded window opens.
