Evaluation of Non-iterative Shimming Using 2-D Field Map Compared with Simplex Shimming

  • Published : 2001.11.01

Abstract

Purpose: The most common instrumental approach to automatic shimming has been based on iterativ. optimization routine(e.g., simplex) to adjust shim settings to maximize the envelope of the FID. Disadvantage of iterative method, however, is very long to compute shim values. Thi paper supposes a non-iterative method that uses 2-D field map to adjust shim settin rapidly.
