Abstract
A method is provided for ascertaining an item of local specific absorption rate (SAR) information in an object under effect of specified radio frequency pulses of a candidate group output with a radio frequency coil arrangement of a magnetic resonance facility, wherein the radio frequency pulses are embodied for manipulating nuclear spins of at least two different nuclides. The method includes implementing a parallel transmission technique for at least one nuclide; generating actuation variables assigned in accordance with the candidate group due to the actuation of the radio frequency coil arrangement; and ascertaining the item of local SAR information by an ascertainment algorithm using the actuation variables as the input data. The ascertainment algorithm is parameterized by taking into account the nuclides and respectively assigned logical coil channels thereof such that the item of local SAR information is jointly ascertained for all nuclides with the same local location reference.
