Multiecho MRI with a Continuously Moving Table (CMT)
enables rapid mapping and quantification of whole-body
fat/water content. A limitation of CMT MRI is that the
center-frequency (f0) and B0 shims are optimized at one
location of the body resulting in non-optimal fields in
other anatomical sections. In this work, we present a
solution to this problem by dynamically shimming
different locations of the body during a multiecho
radial CMT fat/water scan with shim and f0 settings
optimal for each individual anatomical location. We
demonstrate slice optimized shimming and fat/water
separation in 5 different locations of the body.
