Quantitative assessment of improved homogeneity using higher-order shims for spectroscopic imaging of the brain.

abstract：:Strong, extensive magnetic fringe fields are a significant problem with magnetic resonance imaging magnets. This is particularly acute with 4-T, whole-body research magnets. To date this problem has been addressed by restricting an extensive zone around the unshielded magnet or by placing external unsaturated iron shi...
