Recommendations for Multi-Center Studies All sites use same kspace filtering regimes Easy to implement Higher Spatial Resolution Less Smooth More Noisy Less Sensitive Ugly Voxel PSF No Kspace Filters gary Hard to implement Lower Spatial Resolution More Smooth Less Noisy More Sensitive Pretty Voxel PSF Rotationally Symmetric Fermi Filter Radius = 32 Width = 2.5
