Correction of eddy current distortions in high angular resolution diffusion imaging
Jiancheng Zhuang et al. J Magn Reson Imaging. 2013 Jun.
Abstract
Purpose: To correct distortions caused by eddy currents induced by large diffusion gradients during high angular resolution diffusion imaging without any auxiliary reference scans.
Materials and methods: Image distortion parameters were obtained by image coregistration, performed only between diffusion-weighted images with close diffusion gradient orientations. A linear model that describes distortion parameters (translation, scale, and shear) as a function of diffusion gradient directions was numerically computed to allow individualized distortion correction for every diffusion-weighted image.
Results: The assumptions of the algorithm were successfully verified in a series of experiments on phantom and human scans. Application of the proposed algorithm in high angular resolution diffusion images markedly reduced eddy current distortions when compared to results obtained with previously published methods.
Conclusion: The method can correct eddy current artifacts in the high angular resolution diffusion images, and it avoids the problematic procedure of cross-correlating images with significantly different contrasts resulting from very different gradient orientations or strengths.
