We apply a fast PNS model evaluated on a Huygens’ surface to characterize PNS performance as a function of patient position and pose in previously described PNS optimized gradients. The coils were initially PNS-optimized for a female body model in a standard brain imaging position. The Huygens’ approach allows us to assess other body positions and demonstrate the PNS benefits/penalties associated with other imaging applications and in both a female and male body model by dramatically speeding up the PNS characterization (to a couple of seconds per body position/orientation). The findings support a broad benefit from the PNS optimized windings.
