        Hello Sadek,<br><br>
        It could be due to the update factors of your data being too low for the optimizer thresholds during the first iterations. These thresholds (which can be changed in <em>conf/optimizer/</em> depending on the algorithm you use) are there to avoid division by 0 or voxels being trapped in a very low value. This could happen with datasets with low statistic, or if the values in your sensitivity image are high in comparison with the image-based correction values of the first updates. In this case, using an appropriate calibration factor in your datafile header could improve this.<br><br>
        Hope this helps!<br>

                        At many occasions, I get flat images (same small value for all pixels in the FOV). Sometimes this gets fixed after few iterations. Is anyone getting similar issues? Any reason or fix for that?</p>
