Abstract

In this study, we have established the technique to estimate the gradient waveforms distorted by the eddy current in MRI. After obtaining the eddy current effect transfer function using the finite element method, we have used the transfer function to estimate the output gradient waveforms at any points inside the imaging region. We also present experimental results to be compared with estimated ones.
