At 7T RF wavelength effects create a highly heterogeneous B1+ field, which can lead to contrast artifacts and signal dropouts. Instead of attempting to mitigate the B1+ inhomogeneity, the Plug-and-Play MRF (PnP-MRF) method simultaneously encodes the B1+ produced by multiple transmit channels alongside desired tissue properties (PD,T1,T2) to extract B1+ bias free multi-parametric maps. Although this method was designed for use with multiple transmit-channels, a single transmit channel may suffice if B1+ voids can be avoided. In this work, we evaluate the performance of PnP-MRF for brain imaging at 7T in a single transmit configuration.
