Visualizing the dipolar field in solution NMR and MR imaging: three-dimensional structure simulations

Abstract We propose and demonstrate an efficient numerical approach which switches back and forth between real and Fourier spaces to handle dipolar field effects for heterogeneous three-dimensional structures. Applications to magnetic resonance imaging and improving field homogeneity are discussed.
