Abstract
In one aspect, in a magnetic resonance imaging system having a gradient coil array comprising a plurality of independent coils distributed about an enclosure, a method of applying currents to said coils is disclosed, which comprises defining a merit function for optimizing at least one feature of any of a magnetic field and an electric field generated by the coils, using a computer processor to optimize the merit function so as to determine an optimal current vector, wherein said element of the current vector provides a current value for application to one of said gradient coils, and applying the currents to said coils.
