We propose a rapid and automated method to rectify incorrect gradient orientations resulting from inconsistencies in coordinate frame conventions across scanners, file formats, and processing tools. Using these incorrect gradient orientations will invalidate subsequent derived quantities that are dependent on local orientation information, particularly tractography. Our approach to correcting the gradient orientations is based on maximizing an orientation continuity index that is computed directly from the diffusion-weighted images without the need for model fitting.
