there is no standard answer for your question, it depends on original dataset. the following recommends are just for your reference:<br>
<br>
if your dataset has only few diffusion orientations (e.g. less than 8), you may try:<br>
manual image quality check + standard linear fitting or outlier pixel rejection method;<br>
<br>
if you have only few subjects to study, you way try:<br>
manual image quality check + standard linear fitting;<br>
<br>
if your dataset have a lot of DW orientations (e.g. more than 15), you can try:<br>
outlier slice rejection method;<br>
<br>
if you find motion artifact, you can use AIR based method.<br>
<br>
and......<br>

Subject: [Mristudio-users] Tensor calculation<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
Hello DTI Experts,<br>
<br>
I want to know which method is good for tensor calculation using DTI-Studio for LDDMM.<br>
<br>
In DTI-Studio, for tensor calculation there are four methods:<br>
<br>
1. Standard linear registration<br>
2. Automatic outlier SLIC rejection<br>
3. Automatic outlier pixel rejection method<br>
4. AIR for theory-original DWI pair with using a 12-mode affine transformation (Woods et al., 1998)<br>
<br>
I read few articles which described the tensor calculation by using AIR for theory-original DWI pair Method (Method 4) (Neuroimage 2009; 47(2): 618-627, Neuroimage 2009; 46(2): 486-499), is this method having any advantage over Automatic outlier pixel rejection method?<br>
<br>
With Best Regards<br>
