B0 field inhomogeneities lead to distortions in gradient echo acquired field maps. In particular, these distortions are present when mapping the spatial distribution of a system's shim coils. Here, we assess the effect of these distortions using in-vivo data and computer simulations, and suggest an iterative algorithm which completely removes them without the need of any additional acquisitions.
