Ellipsoidal harmonic (Lame) MRI shims.

Ellipsoidal harmonic (Lame) MRI shims.

Ellipsoidal harmonics are presented as a basis function set for the design of shim coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or spectroscopy. MR shim coils may be either superconductive or resistive. Ellipsoidal harmonics form an orthogonal set over an ellipsoid and hence are appropriate in circums...
