Choosing the polarity of the phase-encoding direction in diffusion MRI: Does it matter for group analysis?

Notorious for degrading diffusion MRI data quality are so-called susceptibility-induced off-resonance fields, which cause non-linear geometric image deformations. While acquiring additional data to correct for these distortions alleviates the adverse effects of this artifact drastically – e.g., by r...
