Abstract
An apparatus for controlling at least one gradient coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The apparatus may include at least one computer hardware processor; and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one computer hardware processor, cause the at least one computer hardware processor to perform a method. The method may include receiving information specifying at least one target pulse sequence; determining a corrected pulse sequence to control the at least one gradient coil based on the at least one target pulse sequence and a hysteresis model of induced magnetization in the MRI system caused by operation of the at least one gradient coil; and controlling, using the corrected gradient pulse sequence, the at least one gradient coil to generate one or more gradient pulses for imaging a patient.
