I am running fmriprep on my data with fieldmap (2 magnitude images + 1 phase diff image). The output image looks weird, and very distorted. Any idea on possible reason?

I do not have a pic of the erroneous outputs at this moment as I gave deleted them but I can try to upload them later. In any case,
I am attaching the BOLD file and fieldmap:
I have relabeled your post as Software Support and added the corresponding post template, please fill in the other requested information by editing your so we an best help. Also, in the Screenshots section, please post the SDC images from the HTML report.
hi @Steven@Chris_Rorden, thank you. I have populated the related fields in the form, except the picture of the output from preprocessing. I deleted that previously but should be able to upload it later. Otherwise, I have provided all required information.
Note 1: The difference of contrast in image for correction version of v20.2.6 vs v23 is that in fmriprep v20.2.6, I used the SBref image as reference, whereas for fmriprep v23, I ignored the SBref.
Note 2: In fact in fmriprep v23, I did not proved a masked 'phasediffimage but the phasediff`image was well masked when I looked at it in the working directory. The issue seems to be coming in the creation of the field coefficient, with B-Spline functions. Here is the look at the fieldmap applied for fmriprep v23:
I’m having what looks like the same issue. Used fMRIPrep v23 and got “corrected” BOLD images that look quite distorted in posterior areas around the occipital lobe:
Thanks @jsein, and apologies for not being more clear. I did use the latest version:

Thank you @wwgraves for sharing this example of SDC going wrong with fmriprep v 23.0.2! Do you confirm that the SDC correction method used in your case by fmriprep v23.0.2 is the “phase difference” case?
May you try with fmriprep v20.2.7 and confirm that the SDC correction is still much better with this earlier version?
Yes, as far as I know it’s a “phase difference” case. I used the field map sequence that came with our Siemens Prisma. Using dcm2bids output two magnitude images, and one phase image, where the phase image had two echo times. That’s why I assume it’s a phase difference map. Please let me know if there’s a better way to verify.
I’m running fMRIPrep v20.2.7 now. I’ll post here once I’ve gotten a chance to take a look at the results!
