The postprocessing step required to correct for geometric distortions is depicted. In (a), a conventional technique is depicted: The dMRI scan acquired with one phase encoding direction (here AP) is complemented with a subsequent single b=0 volume with opposed phase encoding direction (here PA). Correction consists of (1) the calculation go a static field map and subsequent (2) correction of all volumes using this map. In (b) the proposed approach based on double-spin echo Superblock & Interleaving data is depicted: (1)Sliding window reconstruction extracts b=0 volumes throughout the dataset. These are used to calculate (2) dynamic field maps for all time steps which are finally (3) used to correct every slice with the temporally closest map.
