A simple and efficient way to enhance the B1+ field dark areas appearing in the temporal lobes and cerebellum at 7T in MRI is to use pads with relative High-Dielectric Constant materials. We present here simulations of different pads configurations aiming to reduce those dark areas. It has been found that the educated guess consisting in using a three pads configuration localized in front of each area is less efficient than two pads above the ears for the temporal lobes or a single pad on the neck for the cerebellum.
