The diffusion weighted images acquired with the multiband sequence or the Lifespan protocols shows a type of slice distortion artifact. This artifact is caused by the eddy currents, which can be induced by the diffusion gradient associated with either the current DW image or the previous DW images. The artifact can be corrected by a correction algorithm which includes the diffusion gradients from both the current and previous DW images.
