Happy New Year to Everybody!
My dataset is a spiral axial oblique acquisition, irregular timing, TR=10seconds, 32 Timepoints, 3T magnet;
I was computing a quality index for each subbrik in the motion corrected mybrik_1+orig dataset using the following command:
3dTqual -range –automask mybrik_1+orig | 1dplot –one -stdin
The ploted graph for the dataset can be seen at [
ftp.rotman-baycrest.on.ca]
The graph (ex0.jpg) shows that there are some subbriks that are outliers in this dataset. I have examined the dataset and it seems that the intensity changed at timepoint 10 (e.g), but I cannot say that it was a huge change in intensity. The motion coorection graph looks fine for this dataset ( see MCgraph_ex0.jpg) , so the problem doesn't come from motion.
The first timepoint and the last two in the run will be discarded from analysis. I wonder what can I do with those that are in the middle of the run?
This problem appears in 3 out of 7 runs in my scanning session.

Teodora
