For a whole-body scan, shimming are required to be carried out in multiple bed positions to provide homogeneous field for imaging different body parts. Thus, techniques to shorten the shimming time are required. This work presents a rapid B0 field prediction method for whole-body shimming based on a large field map database of different body parts. A range of applications could benefit from this technique.
