Optimal Layout of the Multicoil for the B0 Shimming in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Article Preview

Abstract:

The performance of the multicoil shimming is much better than that of the spherical harmonic coils in many aspects. The diameters and locations of the multicoil are optimized for the B0 shimming of the third order spherical harmonic field. And then every independent coil is decomposed into two series coils to take full advantage of a limited number of shim current supplies. The performance is improved by 16.7% when quantified by the surface root mean square.
