Abstract
In order to provide a static magnetic field homogeneity adjustment method capable of reducing an arrangement amount of magnetic pieces and achieving desired magnetic field homogeneity with high accuracy in magnetic field homogeneity adjustment, there is provided a static magnetic field homogeneity adjustment method in an imaging space of computing positions of a plurality of magnetic pieces separated from the imaging space through shimming computation with respect to a static magnetic field in the imaging space generated by a magnetic field generation device, and disposing the plurality of magnetic pieces at the positions obtained through the shimming computation, the method including an adjustment step of imposing restriction that a polarity of a magnetic field distribution generated in the imaging space by the magnetic pieces disposed at the positions is either positive or negative during the shimming computation, and adjusting the static magnetic field homogeneity.
