High-order dynamic B0 shimming has been shown to improve the shim quality for multi-slice acquisition schemes. However, for gradient intensive sequences, eddy currents become a major problem and pre-emphasis is required. The pre-emphasis can be done flexibly with the use of digital filters as they can drive arbitrary-shaped waveforms and are scalable to a larger number of channels.
In this work, we design and implement a system to perform dynamic B0 shimming with digital pre-emphasis with a very fast update rate. The setup is then tested for performing pre-emphasis on a 9.4T scanner.
