There are many MRI approaches for studying myelin. But which ones are reliable, how do they relate to each other, and how do they behave in gray vs white matter? In our new preprint, we introduce Myelin Imaging Reliability and ReprOducibility Resource (MIRROR) 🧠🪞 📄🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Many dMRI statistics have been investigated, but their whole-brain relationships are unclear. This makes it challenging to determine which statistics capture overlapping vs. unique microstructural information

Given these scanner differences, harmonization is essential! In unharmonized data, acquisition batch explained up to 70% of microstructural variance. We used cutting-edge longitudinal nonlinear harmonization, which eliminated these effects while preserving developmental effects.

We made numerous updates to the QSIPrep and QSIRecon software packages to better perform on HBCD’s infant/pediatric diffusion MRI. New preprocessing includes partial-Fourier Gibbs unringing, MP-PCA, 2-stage susceptibility distortion correction, SynthStrip/Synthseg and MNIInfant atlases.
A flow diagram describes the preprocessing workflow and additions specifically added for HBCD. Critical additions are Gibbs Unringing, a second stage of distortion correction, MNI Infant support and Synthstrip and Synthseg.
