Using multiple local excitation coils for different parts of the body, such as bilateral breast coils, opens up the possibility to perform frequency shimming: using multiple carrier frequencies to excite the different body parts without gradient based localization. In this work we demonstrate frequency shimming to improve fat suppressed breast MRI at 7 T.
