<div dir="ltr">Hi Dorian,<div><br></div><div>This is interesting. If the band is really a fat shift and its appearance is sensitive to gradient application, you should get reproducible effects. I mean, the three repetitions should be the same within each column, while they look different in the row. The fat bands look different both in the row and column directions. So something is happening randomly, it seems.</div>

This ring seem to alternate for some slices, clearly visible in DWI fitting error. Does this mean that fat shift problems interact with eddy currents to produce alternating rings or is it just normal that fat ring alternates between diffusion directions?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Second, this is somehow a naive and unrelated question. Given that I obtain always 2+ datasets from each subject, isn't there a way to invert fat suppression technique in the scanner such that one time I have a fat ring showing as dark, but in the next dataset the same volume have the ring brighter? This way the average of the fat ring will cancel out. Is there a way to invert, not the position, but the values from the fat so that the artifact would average theoretically to zero?</div>
