The possibility of acquiring diffusion MRI data with extremely high resolution and strong diffusion weighting imposes new challenges on the preprocessing. In a joint effort, all research institutions with the availability of a human MRI system with 300 mT/m maximum gradient strength compared their respective processing pipelines and converged towards a joint recommendation for high-quality dMRI preprocessing. The joint pipeline represents the current state-of-the-art of dMRI image processing and will be made available to other researchers. The result of this joint effort promises better reproducibility of diffusion MRI results.
