Hi,
I'm currently exploring gradient unwarping of data on a Siemens Trio
scanner (sonata coils) and a Siemens Verio scanner. I have got lists
with coil coefficients for both scanners.
According to the FS mail archives, you provide a binary for gradient
unwarping, but not any scanner tables (due to licensing), or the
conversion scripts mentioned here:
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/GradientUnwarping.
With some googling, I have found this version:
https://code.google.com/p/gradunwarp/
which seems to be the latest available version of the software
(originally written by Czanner). This package also provides the
table conversion scripts. The development appears to be stalled,
however. I have used this version for (what seems to be) successful
gradient unwarping of Siemens Trio data.
A couple of questions:
1)
Can you enlighten me as to the latest and 'most proper' version of
the software to use for gradient unwarping (bug fixes, scanner
support)? Is the binary in FS further developed than the google docs
version, and if so, have I somehow missed the table conversion
scripts?
2)
At DRCMR (see below), we have a Siemens Verio scanner, as well as a
list with the associated gradient coil coefficients. As of now, it
seems like the correction software (public FS + google doc version)
does not support this scanner type. Is this something that could
possibly be included? Or is a newer (possibly non-public) version
available that supports it already? We're aware that the scanner can
perform correction by itself, but as far as I know this is only in
3D, and also requires you to do it immediately after the sequence.
