Towards Template-Invariant Voxel-Wise Analysis

Voxel-wise cluster analysis of any MR-derived metric necessitates non-linear registration to a common brain template. Because quality of inter-brain registrations is sensitive to the similarity between the brains, the results of such analyses are sensitive to the choice of the template. Despite judicious selection of the template may reduce registration errors, inherently the results should not depend on template choice. We show that a dramatic reduction in this sensitivity is achieved by filtering out poorly registered images. Consequently, voxel-wise cluster analyses of the remaining data become more robust and less sensitive to the choice of the template.

How to access this content:

For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.

After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.

After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
