Fig. 5. COMPARISON OF SHIMMING METHODS OVER ALL SUBJECTS.

Fig. 5

Performances of zero through third order static SH, DSH and DMC shimming of the human brain at 7 Tesla across all 6 subjects of the study. The residual magnetic field imperfections after theoretical SH shimming (first row) and after DSH shimming (second row) were further reduced with the DMC shim approach (third row). Experimental DMC shimming was successful in all subjects and outperformed DSH shimming, however, the full potential of DMC shimming of the human brain has not yet been realized with this first realization (fourth row, compare Table 1).
