Instead of using single coil elements as basis for RF
shimming, we propose to use eigenmodes, which can be
sorted by efficiency w.r.t. average

vs.
power or global SAR. By using just most efficient modes,
we inherently achieve a good compromise between
homogeneity and power/SAR in a direct approach instead
of a time-consuming traditional L-curve evaluation.
