Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes a table and at least one processor. The table is configured to support a patient, and to travel along a length in a direction of movement through an imaging zone to at least one imaging position. A spatial gradient field varies for at least a portion of the imaging zone. The at least one processor is operably coupled to the table, and configured to obtain a spatial gradient field curve representing magnitude of the spatial gradient field as a function of position along the direction of movement; determine a table speed curve using the spatial gradient field curve, wherein the table speed varies along the direction of movement; and control movement of the table using the table speed curve.
