External Email - Use Caution        

I have a longitudinal dataset collected on a Siemens Skyra, where online 
distortion correction on the T1s was turned OFF for the first wave several 
years ago, and with an upgrade to XA30 since then, it is now turned ON for the 
second wave of data collection and performing a 2D (in-plane) correction.

Obviously, we want the acquisitions to match as closely as possible between the 
two timepoints, so I am trying to figure out how to use gradunwarp to perform 
post-hoc correction on the first scans.  A problem I am running into (see my 
thread on HCP’s gradunwarp github 
page<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1UEsGaoLMJInc49tXx1leDHidHoj0m6ydT6viNz9VH1gN5QK96EOKRRN541rbTGjNB-IR34ImGwyVF4FENAquXT1TN5MqViczebRDZtEm27_BBlol2ITUGILUx-w6p9Nk_XlBaYh3nSnbU5mCgCqMOZ1_NaA5Du9SmWOi7dsOIYQQHkHR9JvWmfaw8VpeXW1qqdE6-Tz_7LHG1Hy-TI-bSIifCQIgzVPda0nIU6tAsd790nIOhnO8YoemEDsrO0O4Fjy2Fte8bUix8EHI0WDC0QRt7p0LUSvaMR2xsXR9Mfq9cFrbUJh9oUSx8kQVPE0f/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FWashington-University%2Fgradunwarp%2Fissues%2F21>)
 is that the software performs a 3D correction, which is not the same as the 2D 
correction being applied to my wave 2 data.  I don’t yet know of a way to 
either:

  1.  apply just a 2D correction to my wave 1 uncorrected data to match what 
the scanner is doing at wave 2 (I’ve communicated with a Siemens rep who says 
there is no documentation he can share on the 2D correction to help me figure 
out how to do this) or
  2.  UNDO the 2D correction on my wave 2 data, so that I can then use 
gradunwarp to apply the 3D correction to both waves.

I don’t have a very good understanding of the differences between the 2D and 3D 
corrections, and I do not currently have a dataset with both uncorrected and 
2D-corrected copies of the same scan to allow me to experiment with and test 
various strategies (hoping to get this soon, but not sure when I’ll be able 
to).  As such, I am hoping that someone with more experience or knowledge on 
this might be able to shed some light on the nature of the issue and severity 
of the problem and/or offer guidance on how I might be able to correct it.

Thanks!
