Spatial encoding and shimming in MRI commonly use dedicated coils that generate spherical harmonic fields. Recently introduced dynamic multi-coil technique (DYNAMITE) demonstrates that MRI-relevant magnetic fields can also be created by a generic set of coils that produce non-linear and non-orthogonal fields, through successful implementation of dynamic shimming, linear and non-linear encoding. Here, purely DYNAMITE-based, concurrent spatial encoding and B$$$_{0}$$$ shimming is demonstrated. The successful synthesis of all encoding and shimming fields with DYNAMITE encourages the simplification of MR scanner architecture by substitution of multi-layer spherical harmonic coil systems with a single-layer multi-coil array.
