Effect of a consistent reconstruction algorithm on inter‐scanner reproducibility in diffusion MRI
Offline Split-GRAPPA reconstruction algorithm reduced inter-scanner variability in FA but not MD. Overall, a consistent reconstruction (with matched acquisition parameters) did not improve inter-vendor reproducibility in dMRI measures or tractography results using other reconstruction methods. These findings highlight the need for further harmonization at the acquisition level (i.e. sequences) to achieve robust cross-vendor comparability in dMRI studies.
