3.2.25 Affine Correction for Subsequent B0s

<eddy_correction_for_B0></eddy_correction_for_B0>

  • on Default Setting
  • off

This tag allows the user to choose to run a higher order correction algorithm (similar to the eddy and motion distortion correction step) on the B0 images. Normally, the non-diffusion weighted images should only require rigid registration to the first B0 volume. However, in multi-series data B0 images can have differences in scale and/or shear. This tag is by default turned on in order to correct for differences across these B0 volumes.
