Abstract
Gradient non-linearities are a significant source of errors in MRI systems with strong gradients. In the case of diffusion imaging, they induce spatial deviation of the b-vectors. The spherical mean methods in diffusion relies on the acquisition of spherical b-shell. To recover accurate spherical mean values, it is necessary to undistort the diffusion signal. Therefore, we evaluated three correction methods for gradient non-linearities using the Connectom gradient system as a showcase. We show how a simple heuristic can reduce the spherical mean errors by 20 folds.
