A single 2D acquisition with RF tagging prepulses is
used to generate both B1 maps and B0 maps. It has previously been shown that
RF spatial tagging in conjunction with k-space data processing yields a rapid
method for 2D B1 mapping. Now it is shown that the same acquisition can
simultaneously yield 2D B0 maps without any increase in acquisition time or
modification of the pulse sequence.
