abstract = {PurposeTo propose two innovations to existing eddy current
characterization techniques, which include (1) an efficient
spatio‐temporal sampling scheme and (2) a model‐based
fitting of spherical harmonic eddy current components.Theory
and MethodsThis work introduces a three‐plane 2D
image‐based acquisition scheme to efficiently sample eddy
current fields. Additionally, a model‐based spherical
harmonic decomposition is presented, which reduces fitting
noise using a rank minimization to impose an exponential
decay on the eddy current amplitude evolution. Both
techniques are applied in combination and analyzed in
simulations for their applicability in reconstructing
suitable pre‐emphasis parameters. In a
proof‐of‐concept measurement, the routine is tested for
its propriety to correctly quantify user‐defined field
dynamics. Furthermore, based on acquired precompensation and
postcompensation eddy current data, the suitability of
pre‐emphasis parameters calculated based on the proposed
technique is evaluated.ResultsSimulation results derived
from 500 data sets demonstrate the applicability of the
acquisition scheme for the spatio‐temporal sampling of
eddy current fields. Compared with a conventional data
processing strategy, the proposed model‐based approach
yields pre‐emphasis parameters that reduce the average
maximum residual field offset within a 10‐cm‐diameter
spherical volume from 3.17 Hz to 0.58 Hz. Experimental data
prove the proposed routine to be suitable to measure and
effectively compensate for eddy currents within 10 minutes
of acquisition time.ConclusionThe proposed framework was
found to be well‐suited to efficiently characterize and
compensate for eddy current fields in a one‐time
calibration effort. It can be applied to facilitate
pre‐emphasis implementations, such as for dynamic B0
shimming applications},
