Temporal field variations (e.g., physiological noise) in oscillating steady state imaging (OSSI) not only increases signal fluctuations as seen in GRE, but also alters signal characteristics that lead to inconsistent k-space acquisitions from TR to TR. This effectively reduces the overall functional contrast and temporal signal to noise ratio (tSNR). Here, we utilized free induction decay (FID) signal phase to estimate up to the first-order field inhomogeneity coefficients for prospective spatiotemporal B0 field correction in OSSI.
