A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system including a method and apparatus for reducing image artifacts caused by magnet vibration is disclosed herein. The system includes a magnetic field vibration quantification and compensation scheme including quantifying (604, 606, 608, 610) a vibration error component included in the magnetic field configured to acquire k-space data corresponding to an MR image, and correcting (614, 616, 618, 620) the k-space data using the vibration error component. The vibration-induced magnetic field perturbation includes a spatially invariant magnetic field, a spatially linear readout magnetic field gradient, a spatially linear phase-encoding magnetic field gradient, and a spatially linear slice-selection magnetic field gradient. The vibration error component can be at least one of a spatially independent phase error of the spatially invariant magnetic field, a kx-space displacement error of the spatially linear readout magnetic field gradient, a ky-space displacement error of the spatially linear phase-encoding magnetic field gradient, and a slice-selection error of the spatially linear slice-selection magnetic field gradient. <IMAGE> |
