For the measurement of current-induced phase using MRI, the effect of stray magnetic fields caused by the current carrying wire on images must be minimized prior to reconstruction of the current density. In this study, we report a method which can effectively remove the effect of lead wire magnetic fields interference during MREIT measurements. Results from phantom experiments and numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility of the method, which can be used to correct for lead effects when measuring current density in human transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) measurements using magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT).
