Field probes have been used for shot-to-shot B0 correction multi shot DWI images of the human breast at 7T. B0 correction is necessary for multi shot imaging to prevent ghosting due to temporal B0 fluctuations caused by physiological motions. In this study we demonstrate that the information simultaneously obtained from field probes reduce ghosting artefacts in multi-shot DWI at 7T in the human breast.
