An easy way to check the quality of your DWI dataset is to look at the standard deviation across diffusion weighted volumes and/or b0 volumes. If there are, for instance, large motion or eddy current artefacts in your data, they will show up as bright rims in the standard deviation map. More information can be found in the paper

A tool to calculate the standard deviation in Matlab is available. Steps to take are
This shows the standard deviation map for diffusion weighted volumes. No artefacts were found in this dataset. Note that the "t" value displayed in the lower right corner is not valid, this should be "stdev (DWI)".
