The design of a single correction coil that annuls, with minimal power consumption, the field inhomogeneity associated with a specific magnet is described. The design strategy used is also shown to be advantageous for the production of high-accuracy, power-efficient shim coils, "drift-free" shims (i

β¦ Synopsis
Heteronuclear and field-profiling stray field (STRAFI) techniques are used to calibrate the STRAFI gradient. Both methods compare very favorably indeed with the conventional method of calibration which uses a standard with a known self-diffusion constant. The distinct advantages of the techniques presented here are that the constraints on both sample purity and sample temperature that are inherent to the conventional method are completely eliminated. The accuracy of the heteronuclear method typically matches that of the conventional method with a pure sample and temperature stability to within 0.4Β°C. The field-profiling method is more accurate than the heteronuclear method in the form that it is presented here.

Gradient pulses used in most localization techniques induce time-dependent shifts in Bo that strongly distort NMR signals. A postprocessing correction method requiring no additional hardware is proposed. The phase shift produced by the Bo shift is calculated from a reference free induction decay (FI
