This study measured field drift in eighty-seven 3T scanners using the water signal acquired by MRS. Frequency traces were plotted for each dynamic and severity of drift quantified. This dataset will be publicly available for benchmark and further analyses.
Figure 4. Comparison of simulated spectra with frequency drift applied between minimum and maximum drift for pre- and post-fMRI PRESS data. The minimum-drift case for each vendor (50% opacity) is overlaid with the maximum-drift case (opaque).
Figure 1. Individual transients of pre- and post-fMRI PRESS (plotted in blue and red, respectively) from the highest-drifting scanner. The frequency offset derived from modeling the water signals is plotted (middle). 360 averages correspond to 30 minutes total scan duration.
