The FWHM results of the high and intermediate resolution of all B 0 fields were down‐sampled to the low spatial resolution to allow pair‐wise comparison. Median FWHM values [ppm] together with fractions attributed to the ΔB 0 within voxels and P‐values from a comparison of different spatial resolutions for brain sub‐regions as well as whole brain are presented.
