    摘要: A method for locally creating effectively homogeneous or “clean” magnetic field gradients (of high uniformity) for imaging (with NMR, MRI, or spectroscopic MRI) both in in-situ and ex-situ systems with high degrees of inhomogeneous field strength. The method of imaging comprises: a) providing a functional approximation of an inhomogeneous static magnetic field strength B0 (r) at a spatial position r; b) providing a temporal functional approximation of Gshim(t) with i basis functions and j variables for each basis function, resulting in vij variables; c) providing a measured value Ω, which is an temporally accumulated dephasing due to the inhomogeneities of B0 (r); and d) minimizing a difference in the local dephasing angle (I) by varying the vij variables to form a set of minimized vij variables. The method requires calibration of the static fields prior to minimization, but may thereafter he implemented without such calibration, may he used in open or closed systems, and potentially portable systems.
