When processing DTI data it is unclear as to whether outlier rejection should be done before or after correction steps which involve registration and resampling. Resampling outliers can corrupt adjacent data, while detecting outliers in uncorrected data can cause false outlier detection. We investigate this problem in processing pipelines for DTI in preterm neonates. We propose a method to tackle outlier rejection and registration based corrections simultaneously.
