3D Free‐breathing multichannel absolute B1+ Mapping in the human body at 7T

To introduce and investigate a method for free‐breathing three‐dimensional (3D) B1+ mapping of the human body at ultrahigh field (UHF), which can be used to generate homogenous flip angle (FA) distributions in the human body at UHF.
