Image restoration from non-uniform magnetic field influence for direct Fourier NMR imaging

Phys Med Biol. 1984 Jan;29(1):15-24. doi: 10.1088/0031-9155/29/1/002.

Abstract

A new technique is proposed for NMR image restoration from the influence of main magnetic field non-uniformities. This technique is applicable to direct Fourier NMR imaging. The mathematical basis and details of this technique are fully described. Modification to include image restoration from non-linear field gradient influence is also presented. Computer simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of this technique for both Fourier zeugmatography and spin-warp imaging.
