Dielectric pads have been shown to offer a solution to B1+ inhomogeneity at ultra-high fields. We show the transmit field effects and SAR values generated when using shape-optimised high permittivity dielectric pads for visual cortex imaging. Using a single loop coil and a single dipole, electromagnetic simulations were undertaken to validate the use of these methods using 3 different body voxel models, their B1+ distributions mapped and maximum SAR values recorded and compared.
