In this study, we present a gradient calibration
protocol, together with an open source phantom, for the
correction of errors caused by imaging gradients that
can be easily implemented in pre-clinical MRI
environments. Mean gradient scaling errors were reduced
from 2.7% to 0.3% through a system calibration which may
be significant in studies of murine brain volumetrics.
Displacements of greater than 100m were detected in
imaging regions affected by gradient non-linearity and
corrected through a post processing correction.
