Extended Data Fig. 8: Effects of manual edits on sMRI indices, stratified by MQC rating.
From: Addressing artifactual bias in large, automated MRI analyses of brain development
Edits were conducted on 150 scans with MQC = 1 and 30 scans with MQC = 2. Maps reflect effect sizes of pre-to-post edit changes in (a) cortical thickness, (b) cortical surface area, and (c) cortical volume. Note increased effects of edits in MQC = 2 relative to MQC = 1. (d) Post-edit thickness reduction along the superior sagittal sinus, which is frequently misattributed to pial surface during preprocessing.
