Abstract

Systems and methods include determination of first shim channels and respective first shim currents to label a labeling region and image an imaging volume, determination of second shim channels and respective second shim currents to label the labeling region, and respective third shim currents to image the imaging volume, execution of a labeling phase of a pulse sequence while the first shim currents are applied to the first shim channels and the second shim currents are applied to the second shim channels, execution of a readout phase of the pulse sequence to readout signals from the imaging volume while the third shim currents are applied to the second shim channels and the first shim currents are applied to the first shim channels, and generation of an image based on the signals.
