A method has been developed to measure the TF of medical implants using MRI experiments. Jointly fitting the incident and scattered B 1 + distributions with an analytical description based on the transfer matrix enables accurate determination of the TF of 2 test implants. The presented method no longer needs input from simulated data and can therefore, in principle, be used to measure TF's in test animals or corpses.
