abstract = {Current methods for mitigation of transmit field B1+
inhomogeneities at ultrahigh field (UHF) MRI by
multi-channel radiofrequency (RF) shimming rely on accurate
B1+ mapping. This can be time consuming when many RF
channels have to be mapped for in vivo body MRI, where the
B1maps should ideally be acquired within a single
breath-hold. Therefore, a new B1+ mapping technique
(B1TIAMO) is proposed.The performance of this technique is
validated against an established method (DREAM) in phantom
measurements for a cylindrical head phantom with an
8-channel transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) array. Furthermore,
measurements for a 32-channel Tx/Rx remote array are
conducted in a large body phantom and the |B1+| map
reliability is validated against simulations of the transmit
RF field distribution. Finally, in vivo results of this new
mapping technique for human abdomen are presented.For the
head phantom (8-channel Tx/Rx coil), the single |B1+|
comparison between B1TIAMO, the direct DREAM measurements,
and simulation data showed good agreement with $10-19\%$
difference. For the large body phantom (32-channel Tx/Rx
coil), B1TIAMO matched the RF field simulations well.The
results demonstrate the potential to acquire 32 accurate
single-channel B1+ maps for large field-of-view body imaging
within only a single breath-hold of 16 s at 7T UHF MRI. Magn
