Prostate diffusion MRI is recognized as a potential biomarker for tumour detection but currently it is unusable in some patients due to significant distortions. We proposed a novel model based joint image and B0 reconstruction framework that can correct these distortions by using data acquired from opposite phase encoding gradient directions. Using sampling time shift between the two acquisitions, the proposed method is robust against any dynamic changes in the off resonance effects in the prostate-rectal air region.
