Dear Indira,
Yes you need to worry about the different slice timing. Other than that most elements of the processing should be the same including B0 field correction. A very important point is that if your TR is short you need to appropriately correct for temporal autocorrelation in the data or your T stats are inflated for example take a look at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26749161

Subject: [SPM] Multiband Imaging Data Preprocessing Pipeline?
Good Day,
Is there a SPM multiband sequence preprocessing pipeline? Do you essentially do everything else, as normal, in your SPM pipeline, except for the addition of the slice timing correction options in SPM12 or are there other steps I must consider (i.e., top-up in FSL for using fieldmaps to correct for scanner noise/inhomogeneity etc.?, also, at what point do I do this? Before I begin the SPM preprocessing pipeline?)?
I appreciate any and all feedback possible on this.
Thanks,
-Indira
