Retrospective correction of physiological field fluctuations in high‐field brain MRI using concurrent field monitoring

Magnetic field fluctuations caused by subject motion, such as breathing or limb motion, can degrade image quality in brain MRI, especially at high field strengths. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of retrospectively correcting for such physiological field perturbations based on concurrent field monitoring.
