It is known that gradient non-linearity can introduce an
error in the measured ADC when off isocenter application
was performed. We measured ADC values at various
position offsets in different types of scanners from a
single vendor and investigated the possibility of
correcting ADC error using gradient field map. The
correction produces declining ADC values at X offset
(R/L) and an elevated ADC at Z offset (H/F), which are
both closer to ADC value at the isocenter. A
significantly lower gradient nonlinearity error also be
shown in our study for long bore scanner compared to
short bore scanner.
