Resting-state BOLD MR images are invaluable for evaluating the neurocognitive state of patients, particularly populations at high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment; however, BOLD images are highly susceptible to motion. The combination of machine learning and image reconstruction techniques during and after BOLD image acquisition holds great promise for harmonizing images and recovering motion-corrupted data. However, there is little information about the relationship between unsupervised ML techniques and characteristics of resting BOLD images. We examined resting state BOLD image harmonization and motion in a set of complex congenital heart disease case and healthy control adolescent subjects acquired through a multi-center study.
