Abstract

Temporal B.sub.o shifts in NMR spectroscopy and/or imaging systems arising from pulsed field gradient induced eddy currents result in the distortion of free induction decay signals. A method of compensation of this distortion through modulation of the sender and/or receiver signal in opposite concert with the induced B.sub.o shifts is introduced. The method has the advantage of having a fast response and of not altering the magnetic gradient field. (FIG. 4)
