Patient-induced inhomogeneities in the magnetic field cause distortions and blurring during acquisitions with long echo times, as in susceptibility-weighted imaging. Most correction methods require collecting an additional $$$\Delta{B_0}$$$ field map. To avoid that, we propose a method to approximate this field map using the single echo acquisition only. The main component of the observed phase is linearly related to $$$\Delta{B_0}$$$ and TE, and the relative impact of non-$$$\Delta{B_0}$$$ terms becomes insignificant with TE>20ms at 3T. The estimated 3D field maps, produced at 0.6 mm isotropic under 3 minutes, provide corrections equivalent to acquired ones.
