ABSTRACT:
A pulse sequence is defined to acquire calibration MR data used to characterize on-axis and cross-axis eddy currents resulting from gradient pulses used to spatially encode MR data. The amplitudes and time constants of those eddy currents can then be measured and used to guide calibration of an MRI system to reduce image artifacts.
