See the attached figure of the inplane slice, this case happens in a few gradient directions in some subjects. And in the move mode, zebra line jumpings in the cerebellum are seen in most of the gradient directios of mostly all the subjects more or less, but there is no such arrifact in other regions in some subjects.
