Real-time Motion Compensated ΔB(0) Shimming with an AC/DC Shim Coil and Dual-Echo vNavs
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Changes in subject position move susceptibility interfaces and therefore ΔB(0) field patterns in the brain. We apply a prospective real time (TR-to-TR) shim updating scheme using dual echo EPI volume navigators to correct motion-induced changes in ΔB(0) fields to reduce distortion in 2D EPI. Shim fields were produced by a 32 channel AC/DC head shim array. TR-to-TR shimming reduced EPI distortion in all head positions in in vivo experiments.
