Abstract

See full text

A method for homogenizing the static magnetic field with a distribution B0(r) in the active volume of a magnetic resonance apparatus having a number N of shim coils defines a target field distribution B0T(r) using a filter method in which a norm of the shim currents is influenced by means of filter factors. An optimization procedure works in a parameter space having M control parameters, wherein 2≦M
