Abstract: Techniques for compensating for presence of eddy currents during the operation of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system in accordance with a pulse sequence, the pulse sequence comprising a gradient waveform associated with a target gradient field. The techniques include: compensating for presence of eddy currents during operation of the MRI system at least in part by correcting the gradient waveform using a nonlinear function of a characteristic of the gradient waveform to obtain a corrected gradient waveform; and operating the MRI system in accordance with the corrected gradient waveform to generate the target gradient field.

Abstract: According to some aspects, a method of producing a permanent magnet shim configured to improve a profile of a B0 magnetic field produced by a B0 magnet is provided. The method comprises determining deviation of the B0 magnetic field from a desired B0 magnetic field, determining a magnetic pattern that, when applied to magnetic material, produces a corrective magnetic field that corrects for at least some of the determined deviation, and applying the magnetic pattern to the magnetic material to produce the permanent magnet shim. According to some aspects, a permanent magnet shim for improving a profile of a B0 magnetic field produced by a B0 magnet is provided. The permanent magnet shim comprises magnetic material having a predetermined magnetic pattern applied thereto that produces a corrective magnetic field to improve the profile of the B0 magnetic field.
