Different post-processing pipelines might influence the research or even clinical conclusions obtained from diffusion MRI. Our study investigated the impact of alternative pre-processing techniques and spatial normalization approaches on the outcome of a large multicenter study in schizophrenia that was originally analyzed using the ENIGMA pipeline. Our main finding is the discovery of profound effects of the spatial normalization approach used, on both biological conclusions and inter-site harmonization of the results.
