abstract = {The study aims at investigating B 0 $$ {B}_0 $$ field
inhomogeneity artifacts arising from remote locations in the
FOV and encountered in accelerated 3D gradient-recalled echo
(GRE) sequences at ultra-high field, and at providing
mitigation strategies.Measurements were conducted at 11.7T
using a head-shaped phantom and an accelerated 3D GRE
sequence with either integrated or external auto-calibration
signal (ACS) lines. Simulations were performed to reproduce
the artifacts. The effects of varying GRAPPA reconstruction
parameters (kernel size and regularization) were also
examined.B 0 $$ {B}_0 $$ field inhomogeneities located
outside the B 0 $$ {B}_0 $$ shimmed region of interest
(i.e., the brain) were observed to return ripple-like
artifacts within this region, particularly at long echo
times. The simulation results support these findings, and
the idea that the observed artifact originates from a
mismatch between ACS and accelerated data due to intra-voxel
dephasing at different resolutions (ACS lines having an
intrinsically lower resolution). The short echo time enabled
by external (i.e., preacquired) ACS lines reduced artifacts
compared to integrated ones. Varying GRAPPA kernel sizes and
increasing the number of ACS lines can improve image
quality, yet without full compensation.This study highlights
ripple-like artifacts amplified with field strength and
arising from a lack of coherence between the ACS and imaging
(3D GRE) signal caused by B 0 $$ {B}_0 $$ intra-voxel
dephasing. To minimize these artifacts, care should be taken
in order to preserve the relevant information in the ACS
data to properly compute the GRAPPA kernels.},
