The XFL sequence is a very fast 2D multi-slice
B1-mapping sequence relying on the measurement of the
magnetization Flip Angle (FA) of a selective preparation
saturation pulse immediately preceding a centric-ordered
FLASH readout. Like most 2D B1-mapping sequences,
imperfect slice profiles introduce biases in the B1
measurement. Here we correct for this bias by taking
into account the preparation & imaging slice profiles as
well as the B0 offset map.
