Diffusion MRI commonly proceeds with single-shot echo planar imaging (EPI) readout, which renders this modality sensitive to Eddy current and susceptibility-induced distortions. Both image-based and k-space-based correction methods have been suggested previously. The aim of this project was to use a standard dataset and compare output images of two image-based correction methods (topup/Eddy and Tortoise) and the extended signal model method. The latter relies on separate magnetic field monitoring data and a Bo field map. Qualitatively the output of three pipelines were similar. Future work will make the diffusion acquisition more challenging for a more complete systematic evaluation.
