Measured diagonal, z → z, eddy-current-induced gradients ([Gz,ζ/Gz,test] × 100%) in MRI system #1 (see Table 2 for system specifications) vs. delay time, δ, between the falling edge of the gradient test-pulse and the start of the FID acquisition. For the six-point sample (3-D) measurement (□), the gradient parameters were 2.5 s duration, 1 G/cm gradient amplitude; for the 1-D sample measurement (●), the gradient parameters were 2.5 s duration, 6 G/cm gradient pulse. After compensation, negligible eddy-current gradients remained as evidenced by results from the six-point sample measurement (■) and 1-D sample measurement (○) after properly setting the gradient pre-emphasis.
