A technique is provided for generating images on an MRI system in which errors due to gradient pulses are compensated. The errors are identified in advance, such as in a calibration sequence performed on the MRI system. Receiver phase adjustment and logical gradient error values are derived from the identified error values. The calibration sequence may be a modified version of the MRI imaging sequence used to produce the images. The correction values may be based upon corrections at the center of k-space. The technique is particularly useful in compensating for effects of eddy currents in pulse sequences employing high slew rate gradient pulses, such as diffusion weighted echo planar imaging sequences.
