Shim Volume Mode

Shim Volume Mode allows two shim volumes to be applied to a DWI breast scan. A shim volume centered over each breast allows for more accurate Center Frequency prescan adjustments, which in turn, optimize image quality. The settings for the User CV include the following:

  • Min = 0 is the default mode, which only allows a single shim volume to be applied.
  • Max = 1 allows you to deposit two shim volumes, one centered over each breast.
