Characterization of phase-based methods used for transmission field uniformity mapping: a magnetic resonance study at 3.0 T and 7.0 T.

Knowledge of the transmission field (B1(+)) of radio-frequency coils is crucial for high field (B0  = 3.0 T) and ultrahigh field (B0 ≥7.0 T) magnetic resonance applications to overcome constraints dictated by electrodynamics in the short wavelength regime with the ultimate goal to improve the image...
