Summary of what happened:
I’m seeing an apparent misalignment in the fmapCoreg reportlet for a PEPOLAR (SE-EPI AP/PA) distortion-correction workflow
Importantly:
- Raw AP/PA fieldmaps and raw BOLD data are perfectly aligned in native space.
- qform/sform matrices, voxel sizes, orientation, PE direction, and readout times all match across AP, PA, and all BOLD echoes.
- fMRIPrep runs without errors.
- The SDC before/after panel looks okay-ish, suggesting distortion correction itself is likely working somehow, but poor than for subjects where fmap-bold coreg works as expected.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks,
Nelson
