ABSTRACT:
An electronic module for generating gradient energization signals in magnetic resonance imaging to correct for eddy current effects. An energization profile is modified by an amount related to the magnitude of eddy current fields generated in the vicinity of a gradient coil. This modification produces an energization profile resulting in a gradient magnetic field corresponding to the magnetic field the unmodified energization profile would have produced but for the presence of induced eddy currents.
