Thank you everybody! That did the trick :)<div><br></div><div>As a heads up to other people, I have heard that 3T Siemens VB17 Trio Tim is supposed to rotate the gradients automatically. I tried rotating the imaging plane by 45 degrees in both the sagittal and then the axial views to test this. On our system, the gradients were not rotated automatically. The assistance of DTIStudio is still needed in order to correct for rotated gradients in this scenario. The case is the same using the VB13 software.<br>

Dear Jeff Sadino,<br>
<br>
This is what I did for manual oblique angle correction<br>
<br>
multiply your gradient matrix (I don't know how many directions you have) if you have 12 directional data then you will have 3*13 (one b=0 values too) with the "Image Orientation patient" matrix<br>
<br>
[ 1 0 0 0 .8846 -.4664] rewritten as (these are unit vectors with z direction being 0 0 1 not mentioned in the Image Image orientation patient from Dicom header<br>
<br>
[ 1 0 0<br>
0 0.8846 -0.4664<br>
0 0 1]<br>
<br>
3*3<br>
<br>
Multiply the ablove Image orientation patient with your gradient matrix.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Venkat<br>

Subject: [Mristudio-users] Adjusting Gradients for Oblique Angles<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the DTI training session in Turtle Bay last week. It was very helpful for us!<br>
<br>
I am wondering how to manually adjust the gradients for an oblique angle. I am using Siemens 3T Trio Tim VB17.<br>
<br>
My default gradient (for one direction) is:<br>
0.861, -0.366, 0.354<br>
<br>
After clicking "Rotate gradients if applicable" in DTIStudio 3.0.2 (March2010), the gradient is:<br>
0.861, -0.489, 0.142<br>
<br>
I couldn't find exactly which tag in the DICOM header contains the rotation information. The closest I could find is "ImageOrientationPatient". The value for this is:<br>
[ 1 0 0 0 .8846 -.4664]<br>
<br>
How do I go from the default gradient to the rotated gradient? Also, can I use this same method on the VB13 and VA25 software?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your help!<br>
Jeff Sadino<br>
