Abstract
We have recently introduced the concept of asymmetric clinical MRI systems. The potential advantages of these systems include a reduced perception of claustrophobia by patients and better physician access to the patient. For asymmetric magnet systems to be useful as a clinical system, asymmetric shims and RF coils must be implemented, and in this work we describe new design methodologies for both.
