Abstract

See full text

A method for performing patient-specific B1 field shimming in a magnetic resonance imaging system includes obtaining patient information of a patient to be imaged by the magnetic resonance imaging system. The method further includes determining an orientation of a projection based on the obtained patient information. The method also includes acquiring B1 projection data, using the magnetic resonance imaging system, along the determined orientation of the projection. In addition, the method includes determining a set of B1 shimming parameters based on the acquired B1 projection data.
