As MRI static fields get increasingly stronger, reducing $$$B_0$$$ inhomogeneities becomes more important but also challenging. When standard active shimming on commercial systems is insufficient for researchers’ needs, alternative approaches such as external shim or hybrid AC/DC coils can be used. However, in order to perform advanced shimming experiments, a proper software ecosystem is required and there is currently no open-source solution for transparent and reproducible shimming experiments. Here we introduce the Shimming Toolbox (https://shimming-toolbox.org), an open-source software package for performing and prototyping static, dynamic and realtime $$$B_0$$$ shimming experiments.

For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
