چکیده

Shimming is an essential process for most NMR experiments, and time saving in this process is desired. Here we propose a fast 3D gradient shimming with a low resolution of only 2×2 pixels in the XY plane, and the number of pixels in the Z direction remains unchanged. The proposed pulse sequences employ the selective excitation and the convection compensation. Consequently, the fast 3D gradient shimming adapts to a wide range of samples on regular NMR spectrometers.

Multipole shimming of permanent magnets using harmonic corrector rings.

Shimming systems are required to provide sufficient field homogeneity for high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In certain specialized applications, such as rotating-field NMR and mobile ex situ NMR, permanent magnet-based shimming systems can provide considerable advantages. We present a simple two-dimensional shimming method based on harmonic corrector rings which can provide arbi...

The Benefits of Higher Order B0 Shimming of the Human Brain at 7T

Introduction: With the advent of ultrahigh field systems (7T), significant improvements in spectroscopic imaging (SI) studies of the human brain have been anticipated. However, these gains are dependent upon the achievable B0 homogeneity, both globally (over the entire ROI or slice) and locally (the linewidths of individual SI voxels within the ROI). The goals of this work were to: 1) determine...

Spatiotemporal Multiplexing for Fast 3d Confocal Microscopy Using Acoustic Tunable Lenses

Fast optical imaging of three-dimensional (3D) specimens is pivotal for the understanding of fundamental processes in life sciences. In most cases, 3D imaging is performed by acquiring a stack of 2D sections each at a different focal position. Notably, contrast and 3Dreconstruction accuracy are maximized with decreasing the optical thickness of 2D sections. This has spurred the development of s...

Dynamic Bo Shimming at 7 Tesla

Introduction Dynamic Shimming is a technique for obtaining optimal Bo field homogeneity over a volume by updating the shim coil and gradient currents for every slice in a multislice acquisition in real time [1, 2]. Dynamic shimming can produce better field homogeneity within each slice than global volume shimming methods. It can therefore reduce signal losses and geometric distortions and can b...

3D free-breathing cardiac cine imaging with respiratory and cardiac self-gating and 3D motion correction

INTRODUCTION Free-breathing cardiac cine imaging with respiratory and cardiac self-gating provides flexibility and convenience for patient scans. Here we propose a 3D radial cardiac cine imaging technique that improves upon self-gating by adding 3D respiratory motion correction. The 3D respiratory motion signals are derived from multiple projections through the data used for image reconstructio...
