For in vivo magnetic resonance imaging at high field (>= 3 T) it is essential to consider the homogeneity of the active B, field (B-1+), particularly if surface coils are used for RF transmission. A new method is presented for highly rapid B-1+ magnitude mapping. It combines the double angle method with a B-1-insensitive magnetization-reset sequence such that the choice of repetition time (TR) is independent of T, and with a multislice segmented (spiral) acquisition to achieve volumetric coverage with adequate spatial resolution in a few seconds. Phantom experiments confirmed the accuracy of this technique even when TR
