Chest motion due to respiration produces off-resonance (OR) effects in the brain, resulting in signal-instability in both structural and functional MRI. Previous work performed dynamic OR-correction using a second-order spatial model, and a univariate temporal respiratory model. Aim of this work was to evaluate dynamic OR correction for increased degrees-of-freedom in both spatial and temporal domain. Our results demonstrate the benefits of higher order (up to the fifth) spatial models combined with the use of bivariate temporal modeling of respiratory effects. These findings show the expected dynamic capabilities of high-order shim-arrays at high magnetic field and on a whole-brain basis.
