MSmcDESPOT Brain Fraction and SPM Normalized Penumbra
MWF Std. Dev. In Normals • 0–0.11 scale • Clearly there is high variation in the GM, most likely due to registration imperfections • Similarly at edges of ventricles
FLAIR Std. Dev. In Normals – Raw • Scale 0–50, not too relevant here since not quantitative • Inhomogeneity variation across normals caused a higher degree of fluctuation in the forebrain
FLAIR Std. Dev. In Normals – Max Normalized • Not sure how to window properly so that the std. dev. maps are comparable • Wanted to see the image get darker -> lower std. dev. -> tighter distribution • Again the forebrain has higher variability
FLAIR Std. Dev. In Normals – SPM Normalized • 0–50, same scale as Raw • Removes forebrain variability artifact • However, the image did not darken vs. Raw so the distribution did not get tighter
FLAIR Std. Dev. In Normals – SPM Normalized • This is auto-windowed to the “robust range” as the max normalized one was also • Only very slight brightening vs. 0-50 range • Interpretation: • Max normalized seems to achieve a lower standard deviation across normals, this is confirmed by the larger DAWM selection
