## Abstract The static magnetic field within two widely spaced axial slices of the human brain was mapped in five subjects following global shimming. This revealed a first order field shift in the anteriorβposterior direction between the cerebellum and cerebrum, which has implications for functiona

## Abstract Room temperature (RT) shims are used routinely in MRI to remove global and local __B__~0~ field inhomogeneity introduced by the subject. Most clinical scanners use only secondβorder spherical harmonic terms, but with the increasing availability of very high field systems, thirdβ and fou
## Abstract In vivo multivoxel Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and multislice Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) are extremely susceptible to poor homogeneity of the static magnetic field. Existing roomβtemperature (RT) shim technology can adequately optimize the __B__~0~ homogen
## Abstract Although a variety of methods have been proposed to provide automated adjustment of shim homogeneity, these methods typically fail or require large numbers of iterations in vivo when applied to regions with poor homogeneity, such as the temporal lobe. These limitations are largely due t
