Synopsis

The benefit of retrospective correction of static and dynamic $$$B_{0}$$$ field imperfections was studied on non-Cartesian compressed sensing-based acquisition patterns by taking as an example 3D-SPARKLING encoding scheme. Long-TR dynamic acquisitions of T2*-weighted MRI (fMRI-like) volumes were acquired at 7T, retrospectively corrected, and the evaluation of the corrections was based on the image quality and the gain in temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR). We found that correcting for the static and dynamic $$$0^{th}$$$ order contributions is enough to enhance the image quality and tSNR significantly (up to 22% gain in median tSNR).
