Ciao,
I made a mistake. I thought the image space reconstruction had the same format as K-space data regarding real&imaginary interleaving. In fact, for image space data all real data is written to the output file, then imaginary data is appended to it. I should have listened to Ziad more closely during bootcamp!
So, I reshaped the raw data to interleave both components of the signal. I read it into afni as before, and was very surprised to see the telescoping even more severe! See attached image.
I'll try a different interleaving pattern in 5 minutes. If it doesn't work, then I'll upload my raw data with a readme file...
Regards,
C.
