Susceptibility-induced signal dropout and image quality impairment in the gradient-echo based imaging are well known problems in brain MRI at high fields. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the feasibility and benefit of head-tilted brain scan as a means to reduce B0 inhomogeneity and associated gradient echo signal loss in the inferior frontal lobe (IFL), and compare the shim improvement with simulated 3rd order shimming in the whole brain.
