what is the bandwidth? The typical way to fix it is to increase the bandwidth. You can probably recover some of the SNR you will lose by reducing your flip angle, which is pretty far from the Ernst angle. Also, minimize your TE (if 4ms is not already the min) cheers Bruce On Tue, 13 Nov 2012,

I'm not engaged in obtaining images, so I don't have any details about the images. I wonder the method which you commented can be applied to images I already earned. If it's not, is there any way to recover SNR after image scanning? Thanks, Youngmin Huh. 2012/11/13 Bruce Fischl

it's not a question of SNR, the problem appears to me to be that the B0 distortions are so bad that a bunch of the temporal lobe is piled up on top of itself. There's no way to fix that posthoc. If you upload the full volume I'm happy to take a look On Wed, 14 Nov 2012, youngmin huh wrote:

Hi, 3D SPGR sequences were used. (TR=22, TE=4, thickness=1.4, FOV=240*240, FA=40) If the artifacts are due to B0 distortion, I wonder how I can fix it. Thanks, Youngmin Huh 2012/11/12 Bruce Fischl fis...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Can you give us the acquisition details? I suspect this is not
