abstract = {PurposeTo overcome existing challenges in dynamic B0
shimming by implementing a shim optimization algorithm which
limits shim current amplitudes and their temporal variation
through the application of constraints and regularization
terms.Theory and MethodsSpherical harmonic dynamic B0
shimming is complicated by eddy currents, ill‐posed
optimizations, and the need for strong power supplies. Based
on the fact that eddy current amplitudes are proportional to
the magnitude of the shim current changes, and assuming a
smoothness of the B0 inhomogeneity variation in the slice
direction, a novel algorithm was implemented to reduce eddy
current generation by limiting interslice shim current
changes. Shim degeneracy issues and resulting high current
amplitudes are additionally addressed by penalizing high
solution norms. Applicability of the proposed algorithm was
validated in simulations and in phantom and in vivo
measurements.ResultsHigh‐order dynamic shimming
simulations and measurements have shown that absolute shim
current amplitudes and their temporal variation can be
substantially reduced with negligible loss in achievable B0
homogeneity. Whereas conventional dynamic shim updating
optimizations improve the B0 homogeneity, on average, by a
factor of 2.1 over second‐order static solutions, our
proposed routine reached a factor of 2.0, while
simultaneously providing a 14‐fold reduction of the
average maximum shim current changes.ConclusionsThe proposed
algorithm substantially reduces the shim amplitudes and
their temporal variation, while only marginally affecting
the achievable B0 homogeneity. As a result, it has the
potential to mitigate the remaining challenges in dynamic B0
shimming and help in making its application more readily
available.},
