The homogenization of B-0 conditions is necessary for every magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) investigation. Its direct consequence is narrow spectral lines, on which reliable separation and quantification of biochemicals, and thus experimentally obtainable metabolic information, fundamentally relies. Besides spectral linewidth, unwanted B-0 inhomogeneity also impairs other aspects of the MRS experiment, such as water suppression and editing efficiency, that rely on exact frequency definition. Therefore, experimental B-0 homogenization, called B-0 shimming, is mandatory for meaningful MRS, and high-level B-0 shimming is arguably one of the most important ingredients for successful MRS investigations. In this review, we describe the relevance of B-0 homogeneity for in vivo MRS and summarize common concepts and specific solutions for its experimental optimization. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
