what is the bandwidth? The typical way to fix it is to increase the bandwidth. You can probably recover some of the SNR you will lose by reducing your flip angle, which is pretty far from the Ernst angle.
Also, minimize your TE (if 4ms is not already the min)

Hi,
3D SPGR sequences were used. (TR=22, TE=4, thickness=1.4, FOV=240*240,
FA=40)
If the artifacts are due to B0 distortion, I wonder how I can fix it.
Thanks,

Can you give us the acquisition details? I suspect this is not
noise, but rather B0 distortion.
what is the acquisition? And what bandwidth?
