Abstract:BackgroundBrain MRI scanner variability can introduce bias in measurements. Harmonizing scanner variability is crucial.PurposeTo develop a harmonization method aimed at removing scanner variability, and to evaluate the consistency of results in multicenter studies.Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationMulticenter data from 170 healthy participants (males/females = 98/72; age = 73.8 ± 7.3) and 170 Alzheimer's disease patients (males/females = 98/72; age = 76.2 ± 8.5) were compared with reference data from another 3… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
