Eddy Current Artifact 
Quick Overview
Artifact Information
NAME
Eddy current
DESCRIPTION
Image distortion
REASON
Induced by changes in a magnetic field
HELP
Eddy current compensation, shielding
Eddy currents can cause artifacts in images and may seriously degrade overall magnet performance.
mri safety guidance
Image Guidance
Common uses to reduce the influence of eddy currents on gradient fields are eddy current compensation and shielded gradient coils (active or passive). If persistent, it must be addressed by a service representative to verify the magnet performance.
