The determination of B1+ in moving organs, in particular
in the heart, is a largely unmet problem. Most B1+
mapping sequences are too long and/or cannot be acquired
in a (double-) triggered mode. We developed and
validated a single-voxel PRESS sequence based on the
Bloch-Siegert shift which is largely immune against
effects of motion and which can additionally be
double-triggered. Measurements in vitro and in the human
heart show an excellent performance of the sequence.
