Although a variety of methods have been proposed to provide automated adjustment of shim homogeneity, these methods typically fail or require large numbers of iterations in vivo when applied to regions with poor homogeneity, such as the temporal lobe. These limitations are largely due to 1) the limited accuracy of single evolution time measurements when full B-O mapping studies are used, and 2) inaccuracies arising from projection-based methods when the projections pass through regions where the inhomogeneity exceeds the order of the fitted parameters. To overcome these limitations we developed a novel B. mapping method using multiple evolution times with a novel unwrapping scheme in combination with a user-defined ROI selection tool. We used these methods at 4T on 10 control subjects to obtain high-resolution spectroscopic images of glutamate from the bilateral hippocampi.
