Challenges of B0 shimming at 7T. (A) Highly suboptimal automated shimming in the spinal cord at 7T results in unusable functional images. (B) The next run repeats the shimming procedure and achieves a good shim that produces excellent functional images. This extreme variability from one run to the next demonstrates a clear need for more robust spinal cord B0 shimming at UHF.
