Abstract

Shim holding independently accessible open cavities are attached to the magnet bore. The holding independently accessible open cavities are arranged in rows and columns to provide readily identifiable locations. The shim holding indpendently accessible open cavities increase the effeciency of shimming to improve the homogeneity of magnets in magnetic resonance systems.
