We have shown that error correction can be used to reliably and automatically decompose fat and water at 7T, with minimal human interference. When combined with FLAWLESS, a previously published technique, we were able to avoid complete swaps of fat and water, while preventing partial swaps from appearing in 99.7% of our 134 images.
