Impact of through‐slice gradient optimization for dynamic slice‐wise shimming in the cervico‐thoracic spinal cord
Introducing a carefully balanced through-slice gradient parameter in slice-wise shimming substantially improves signal recovery in axial GRE images of the spinal cord, without compromising in-plane homogeneity. This effective approach can advance spinal cord functional MRI applications at high field strengths.
