At high field strength T2* weighted imaging suffers from
artifacts due to field fluctuations generated by patient
breathing and motion. We propose to employ a real-time
higher order field feedback system based on NMR field
sensors providing full 3rd order real-time field
compensation. In this work the effectiveness of the
system is quantified for T2* mapping. Field feedback was
demonstrated to improve data accuracy of T2* mapping at
7T, which was evaluated in phantom experiments and
in-vivo. The method may as well be beneficial to improve
image quality and data accuracy in susceptibility
weighted imaging and quantitative susceptibility
mapping.
