Magnetic field gradient monitor and magnetic field gradient waveform correction apparatus and methods

摘要

Method for correcting the magnetic field gradient waveform in a magnetic resonance measurement including extracting an impulse response from the measured step response of a magnetic resonance system, determining the slew rate of the system during the step response measurement, modifying the desired output waveform such that the desired output waveform is constrained to within the slew rate and the bandwidth of the system, and determining the required pre-equalized input waveform.
