Despite the intrinsic SNR gains at 7T, pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) is limited by poor $$$|B_1^+|$$$ coverage in the labelling plane and the associated high local SAR of the sequence. In this work we perform simulations to consider the usefulness of dynamic RF shimming using a commercially available head-only RF coil equipped with 8-transmit channels, for labelling in PCASL.
