Equivalence testing for the determination of the minimum NSA for bias-free FA evaluation is shown for ROI-based analysis at 1.5 T Philips (A), 3 T Philips (B), 3 T Siemens (C) and 3 T GE (D) MRI systems (Equivalence tolerance range = [−0.05, 0.05]). FA, fractional anisotropy; NSA, number of signal average.
