B1+ homogenisation was performed at 9.4 T repeatably and
robustly using kt-points and a region-growing algorithm
in a PBS phantom, an ex vivo human brain and in vivo.
DREAM was used to obtain B1+ maps of 8 parallel
transmitters. Small tip-angle gradient echo images were
aquired. We hypothesise that there exists a smooth
continuum from the small region solution (essentially
transmitter phase coherence in the centre) to the
globally optimum solution for the full homogenisation
volume.
