High gradient demand and heating results in a changing main magnetic field and center frequency drift during minutes-long acquisitions. Center frequency drifts on the order of tens of Hz may produce visible artifacts in images acquired with long-readout spiral acquisitions. We propose a method for removing such artifacts in spiral acquisitions by demodulating individual spiral arms using a linear interpolation of center frequency measured before and after a scan.
