Abstract

PURPOSE: Magnetic susceptibility differences at the heart-lung interface introduce B0-field inhomogeneities that challenge cardiac MRI at high field strengths (≥ 3 T). Although hardware-based shimming has advanced, conventional approaches often neglect dynamic variations in thoracic anatomy caused by cardiac and respiratory motion, leading to residual off-resonance artifacts. This study aims to ch…
