In this work, a method is presented where a whole-body gradient system corrects for eddy currents induced by an unshielded gradient insert coil. A single-axis unshielded gradient breast insert coil was positioned in a 7 tesla whole body MR system. Field cameras were used to analyze the eddy currents and validate the proposed method.
