We used concurrent magnetic field monitoring in-vivo to
measure system and physiological fluctuations in the
encoding fields of multiple EPI time series. Principal
component analysis disentangled these fluctuations based
on their frequency components in the projections.
Despite the robust detection of physiologically induced
field fluctuations, the observed SFNR losses are small
at 3T. However, correcting for system-induced
fluctuations in the encoding fields using concurrent
magnetic field monitoring increased the SFNR
considerably.
