Abstract

A magnetic resonance method includes performing a plurality of magnetic resonance excitation operations each using a different sub-set of a set of radio frequency transmit coils (), each sub-set including more than one radio frequency transmit coil, acquiring magnetic resonance data responsive to each said magnetic resonance excitation operation, and computing a B1 or flip angle map for each radio frequency transmit coil of the set of radio frequency transmit coils based on the acquired magnetic resonance data. A magnetic resonance method includes performing an actual flip angle mapping (AFI) sequence using a radio frequency transmit coil () with a ratio TR:TRof the TR times of the AFI sequence selected to be rational, acquiring magnetic resonance data responsive to said AFI sequence, and computing a B1 or flip angle map for the radio frequency transmit coil based on the acquired magnetic resonance data.
