Noise reduction

Eliminate outliers (spikes):

The highest 2% of the voxel intensities of the output images are set to the intensity of the 98-percentile value.

Apply spatial smoothing:

Nearest neighbour spatial smoothing is applied to the input data prior to analysis

Apply temporal smoothing:

Time-domain smoothing is applied to input data prior to analysis. The degree of temporal smoothing can be adjusted by the slider

Noise level

Apply noise level cutoff

Voxel intensities below the specified cutoff value are excluded from the analysis

Auto-detect noise level:

The noise level in the input data is automatically estimated using the Otsu’s method.

Noise level:

Override the auto-detected noise level by adjusting the slider

Eliminate non-connected voxels:

Performs seed growing from, starting from the image volume centre of gravity and eliminating all voxels not connected to the centroid voxel

 

Least squared weighting

Determines the relative weighting in the iterative least squares curve fitting procedure of the individual datapoints of the input data

Equal weighting for all datapoints: all datapoints are weighted equally, independent of amplitude

Increasing weighting of higher amplitudes: higher amplitude values are given a higher weight which means that they contribute more to the LSQ solution

Increasing weighting of lower amplitudes: lower amplitude values are given a higher weight which means that they contribute more to the LSQ solution
