Hi everybody I’m toward the correction of all EPI deformations due to movement, static field inhomogeneties and interactions of both: That’s why I have some questions regarding the toolbox “Realign and Unwarp” and the tool “Fieldmap” developed by Chloe Hutton and Jesper Andersson Realigning: 1. In the defaults of Realign one can set a mask which is automatically calculated as the inverse of the variance in each voxel. This is can be set when speech is performed or severe artifacts are present. Are usual EPI artifacts considered as severe? Creating fieldmaps to unwarp EPI images 2. How can I input the VDM generated by “FieldMap” file in the “Realign & Unwarp” defaults 3. Following the introduction of a VDM fieldmap in “Realign & Unwarp”, does it make the same unwarping process that “FieldMap”? I mean, does it use the same theory and procedures? Does apply a Jacobian Modulation too? __________________________ Pedro Antonio Valdés Hernández Neurophysics Department, Cuban Neuroscience Center. Havana City, Cuba.
