Outlook of DYNAMITE shimming for specific research conditions: Molecular imaging with iron-oxide labeling. A: Rat brain after ventricular iron-oxide injection. The considered slice itself does not contain any iron load. B: While microscopic field distortions are desired with iron-oxide-based contrast agents to generate contrast, the concomitant macroscopic field alterations are not (residual field imperfection after theoretical SH shimming: SD 101 Hz). C: DYNAMITE field modeling and shimming is expected to mitigate these artifacts that can span over significant parts of the brain and to reduce signal dropout and image distortions (shim simulation for presented MC/RF implementation: SD 57 Hz).
