Gradient non-linearity correction relocates normalised group activation hotspot

Introduction Gradient coils in MR scanners are assumed to produce linear magnetic field gradients, however high-speed gradients show nonlinear characteristics as a trade-off[1]. This fact creates structural deformations in MR images during reconstruction, as the gradients are assumed to be linear. A correction for these structural deformations has been shown to be imperative in multi-site struc...
