This work presents an algorithm that calculates a distortion field to correct a geometrically distorted image using an anatomically precise reference image. The algorithm employs mutual information based rigid image registration with a pyramidal architecture. Validation was performed on simulated distortion fields and in vivo comparison to a measured B0-fieldmap.
