“…18,31,40 However, the setup of a clinical rs-fMRI analysis pipeline requires considering the following methodological and practical issues. 1) Multiple data QC parameters should be provided, including a) the determination of rs-fMRI volume outliers due to head motion, physiology, or hardware; 16 b) the quality of the coregistration between functional and structural MR images; 26 and c) the accuracy of the T1-weighted image segmentation, to help with a correct interpretation of the results. 25 2) For rs-fMRI network extraction, it is preferable to use an unsupervised technique, such as independent component analysis (ICA), to take into account the anatomical variability in localization of functional areas across patients.…”
