Nonuniform diffusion weighting bias due to gradient
nonlinearity causes substantial errors in ADC maps for
anatomical regions imaged distant from magnet isocenter.
Our previously-described approach allowed effective
removal of spatial ADC bias for mono-exponential media
of arbitrary anisotropy. Here we evaluate correction
performance for quantitative diffusion parameters of the
IVIM model for renal tissue. Comparable accuracy is
achieved both for corrections based on b-maps and DWI
intensities for slow ADC component in presence of IVIM.
