We proposed a method to decouple field probes and to improve the accuracy of dynamic magnetic field estimation. A sensitivity matrix of probes was measured and to decouple NMR signals. Diffusion weighted phantom images with off-resonance characterized by decoupled probes had a more invariant structure than by coupled probes when diffusion sensitivity gradients along different directions were applied. The phantom image reconstructed with field disturbances estimated from decoupled probes also shows a more homogeneous background than from coupled probes. Human brain images also demonstrated the improved image quality when decoupled probes were used.
