Do "Scanner Differences" in ABCC processing control for manufacturer effects? #24

Closed kimberlylray closed 1 year ago

kimberlylray commented 2 years ago

Hello ABCC team, Thank you so much for providing this invaluable community resource. I am using the ABCC resting state data and am wondering how much the 'scanner differences' preprocessing step in the Collection 3165 - ABCD-BIDS Community Collection (ABCC) documentation controls/reduces the manufacturer effects observed in Marek et al., 2019. Or are these effects still present and need to be accounted for in the ABCC? Thank you!

We try to minimize differences as much as possible, but keep in mind that MRI acquisition remains fundamentally different between GE, Siemens, and Philips platforms. As a result, I highly recommend checking and controlling for manufacturer effects in subsequent analyses.
