Accurate sodium B
1
field
mapping is a key requirement for quantitative sodium
imaging at ultra-high field strength. In this study the
performance of three B
1
mapping
techniques was evaluated in a phantom at 9.4 T. Compared
to the double angle and the Bloch-Siegert shift based
methods, the phase sensitive method provided the most
reliable maps, especially in regions of weak B
