Error from inaccurate eddy current assessment has been a critical issue in spiral imaging. A model is established to estimate both the gradient field and its induced B0 variation from the measured current of the gradient amplifier. The correction improves the geometric consistency between both spiral-in and spiral-out images. The results suggest that the present work have potential to improve quality of spiral imaging.
