Abstract

A dielectric element is formed of a dielectric material exhibiting a magnetic resonance relaxation time, with a relaxation agent incorporated in the dielectric material that reduces the relaxation time of the dielectric material. The dielectric element is adapted for placement on a subject while magnetic resonance data are acquired from the subject, and locally influences the B1 field distribution in the subject during the acquisition of magnetic resonance data.
