Objective

EPI data collected for DTI and fMRI analysis are spatially distorted, due to susceptibility/chemical shift artifacts. Our VCFS pilot data have been collected using parallel imaging, which reduces distortions, but does not eliminate them. In our data, we see artifacts in the inferior temporal and inferior frontal brain regions. As suggested by Bruce Fischl at the last Core1 meeting, we collected field maps to calculate distortions, which information could be then used to "undistort" images.
