Parallel imaging is commonly used in q-space diffusion MRI for reducing susceptibility distortions and scan time. However its impact on diffusion measurements is still poorly studied and might introduce some bias at high b-value due to non-spatially uniform noise level. In this work we compared AxCaliber results in the human spinal cord using GRAPPA and a reduced field of view technique.
