abstract = {PurposeTo describe and implement a strategy for dynamic
slice‐by‐slice and multiband B0 shimming using spherical
harmonic shims in the human brain at 7T.TheoryFor thin axial
slices, spherical harmonic shims can be divided into pairs
of shims (z‐degenerate and non‐z‐degenerate) that are
spatially degenerate, such that only ½ of the shims
(non‐z‐degenerate) are required for single slice
optimizations. However, when combined, the pairs of shims
can be used to simultaneously generate the same in‐plane
symmetries but with different amplitudes as a function of
their z location. This enables multiband shimming equivalent
to that achievable by single slice‐by‐slice
optimization.MethodsAll data were acquired at 7T using a
spherical harmonic shim insert enabling shimming up through
4th order with two additional 5th order shims (1st‐4th+).
Dynamic shim updating was achieved using a 10A shim power
supply with 2 ms ramps and constrained optimizations to
minimize eddy currents.ResultsIn groups of eight subjects,
we demonstrated that: 1) dynamic updating using 1st‐4th+
order shims reduced the SD of the B0 field over the whole
brain from 32.4 ± 2.6 and 24.9 ± 2 Hz with 1st‐2nd and
1st‐4th+ static global shimming to 15.1 ± 1.7 Hz; 2) near
equivalent performance was achieved when dynamically
updating only the non‐z‐degenerate shims (14.3 ± 1.5
Hz), or when a using multiband shim factor of 2, MBs = 2,
and all shims (14.4 ± 2.0 Hz).ConclusionHigh order
spherical harmonics provide substantial improvements over
static global shimming and enable dynamic multiband shimming
with near equivalent performance to that of dynamic
slice‐by‐slice shimming. This reduces distortion in echo
planar imaging.},
