Purpose: The purpose of this study is to introduce a novel design method of a shim coil array specifically optimized for whole brain shimming and to compare the performance of the resulting coils to conventional spherical harmonic shimming.
Methods: The proposed design approach is based on the stream function method and singular value decomposition. Eighty-four field maps from 12 volunteers measured in seven different head positions were used during the design process.
