Virtual population‐based assessment of the impact of 3 Tesla radiofrequency shimming and thermoregulation on safety and B1+ uniformity

To assess the effect of radiofrequency (RF) shimming of a 3 Tesla (T) two‐port body coil on B1+ uniformity, the local specific absorption rate (SAR), and the local temperature increase as a function of the thermoregulatory response.
