Synopsis

Strong B0 inhomogeneities in compact point-of-care low field permanent magnet systems can cause image distortions and reduced signal for large field-of-view images. MRF, as a flexible acquisition framework, can encode these effects into the acquisition process, to incorporate them into the reconstruction process. In this work, we use an alternating TE in the MRF sequence that supports ΔB0 estimation and image distortion correction of the MRF data. This method reduces distortions in the relaxation time maps without needing to acquire an additional ΔB0 map.
