In this study, changes of the B0 field inside the brain due to head motion were measured and analyzed. The sources contributing to this change include a static field introduced by the relative position of the head to the body and the shim coils, and a dynamic one from the head’s orientation and its susceptibility. The experimental results suggest that the component from the head and/or body has a strong magnitude and complex spatial pattern, which makes it difficult to be measured with simple navigators. This B0 field change should be properly taken into account for motion correction.
