title: Magnetic fields mapping with the phase reference method.
abstract: A simple method for imaging the magnetic field produced by arbitrary current distributions is presented. The method is based on the use of a phase reference image and can be easily adapted to any standard magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Examples are given to application to gradient coil characterization and quantitative field measurements.
