The performance of two model-free, high-pass filtering
methods for data cleaning of multi-echo GRE data at 9.4T
was assessed. Along with the widely used Gaussian
kernel, we explored the use of a smoothing spline
function that adapts its shape to the actual k-space
appearance of the MR signal. The spline-based, but not
the Gaussian kernel, mirrored the temporal evolution of
the MR signal with echo time and hereby mitigates strong
Bo inhomogeneities, while desired phase features were
maintained.
