  • Method and system for reducing magnetic field instabilities in a magnetic resonance system
    Patent number: 11474176
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for reducing inhomogeneity in an imaging magnetic field during magnetic resonance imaging is described. The method includes generating a corrective magnetic field during imaging, the corrective magnetic field having a first magnetic field component and a second magnetic field component with a phase separation therebetween. The first and second components are generated according to a stability parameter decomposed from a stability field that correct an instability identified within the imaging magnetic field.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: Synaptive Medical Inc.
    Inventors: Ian Connell, Chad Harris, Geron Bindseil, Andrew T. Curtis
