Abstract
A gradient system characterization function (e.g., a gradient system transfer function) may be developed by measuring a behavior of the MR device at a target temperature and developing at least one gradient system characterization function for a gradient coil of a magnetic resonance (MR) device at the target temperature based on the measured behavior. A patient may be subsequently imaged by the MR device, wherein the imaging process comprises measuring a temperature of a gradient coil, determining a gradient system characterization function at the measured temperature, calculating a pre-emphasized gradient of the gradient coil, and imaging the patient using the pre-emphasized magnetic field component.
