Image slice plan, shim volume, and ROI locations. (a) Image slice (dotted line) for single slice and (b) for 3-slice imaging plans. Also shown is the shimming volume used to ensure consistent field homogeneity during repeat experiments. (c) ROI, used: circular; spoke solution; oval; background solution: (d) rectangle; noise ROI.
