The application of B1 + correction (both RR-VFA and satTFL) to VFA T1 results in more repeatable and reproducible T1 estimation than VFA T1 . This can potentially provide improved quantification of the prostate dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameters. Level of Evidence 1. Technical Efficacy Stage 1. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018.
