By
combining the requirements for B1 mapping using the DAM and reversed phase encode
blips for B0 mapping like that used by topup,
we were able to map B1 and B0 from integrated scans.
Fig.1 Cartoon depicting the proposed acquisitions and processing pipeline. The images contained in the purple square (top left) represent the four SE-EPI scans that need to be acquired (each in 15 s).
Fig.4 Sample of the B1 map produced using the proposed method compared to the B1 map produced using a typical SE-DAM protocol in our Centre (as per ref.2). The horizontal and vertical profiles are plotted on the right to show the very good agreement between these two B1 maps.
