Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for reducing large magnetic artifact susceptibility in magnetic resonance imaging. The present invention is used to maximize cancellation of the magnetic field distortion cremated when objects with high variations in magnetic susceptibility are placed in a uniform magnetic field. Particularly, the present invention reduces the magnetic resonance imaging artifact produced by pacemakers and internal cardiac defibrillators in order to maximize the diagnostic image quality in the region surrounding these devices.
