Abstract

We present, here, a simple method for measurement and correction of off‐resonance related geometric distortion in echo‐planar imaging (EP1). This method uses high signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) EPI‐based field maps, rapidly acquired using a series of gradient recalled images collected across a range of TE values. This field map is distorted in the same manner as the EPI images to be unwarped, providing a direct look‐up table for the correct location of each pixel of data. This method adds very little scan time and is robust and easy to implement.

## Abstract A major source of noise in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) arises from modulations in the local magnetic field in the head due to motion of the subject's chest through the respiratory cycle, and this physiologic noise can nullify the gains in statistical power expected by t
