Undesirable chemical shift. The manufacturer's default polarity of the readout gradient in the SI direction for sagittal acquisitions shifted fat over the base of the brain (arrow, left) in the first version of the protocol. This hinders automated brain extraction algorithms. Reversal of this shift (right) required custom alteration of the manufacturer's product imaging sequence.
