Abstract
A method for determining an intensity-corrected magnetic resonance image includes acquiring B1 projection data of a patient using a magnetic resonance imaging system. The method also includes determining a transmit map using only the acquired B1 projection data. The method further includes acquiring an image of a patient using magnetic resonance imaging system and correcting an image intensity of the acquired image using the determined set of maps. The method also includes outputting the corrected image of the patient.
