In this work, we address the problem of B₀ inhomogeneity in the human brain at 9.4T by using dynamic very high order B₀ shimming. This enables multi-slice metabolite mapping in the human brain at this field strength. Furthermore, we investigate the advantage of low (2^nd) versus very high (4^th+) degree dynamic B₀ shimming directly with respect to the quality of the metabolite maps.
