In the frequency-encoding direction, both the non-linearity of the frequency-
encoding gradient and static field inhomogeneity cause geometric
distortions
In the phase-encoding direction, distortions are solely caused by the non-
linearity of the phase-encoding gradient
Result: geometrical distortion in spin-echo
