Traveling-subject (TS) harmonized brain imaging data shows reduced measurement bias (IMAGE)
Caption
Brain imaging methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to characterize structural differences in the brains of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, these results are often inconsistent, revealing different results across machines and hospitals. Researchers from Japan employed an approach called the TS method to reduce measurement bias in brain imaging datasets sourced from multiple locations. Their results reveal that, compared to the raw data, TS-corrected data significantly reduced measurement bias and revealed volumetric changes in brain regions in children with ADHD.
