METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HOMOGENEOUS MAGNETIC FIELDS

摘要

A method for shimming a magnetic field is disclosed. The method uses a single shim current to contribute to suppression of more than one geometrical component of an inhomogeneity in the magnetic field without changing the geometry of the shim path. Apparatuses to implement the method are also disclosed. In embodiments the apparatuses comprise substantially commonly oriented shim paths.
