Kurtosis Imaging Network (KIN) will create an open
source database for normal healthy controls to establish
a standard range of kurtosis values within each
population. This database will also allow for
quantitative comparisons between sites, vendors, and
various protocol parameters. Finally, KIN will also help
develop a strong collaborative research network for
troubleshooting and creating future studies. We have
initially analyzed data from 5 selected sites and
although protocol parameters and vendors differed
between groups, the diffusion metrics in the body of the
corpus callosum for healthy controls were not
significantly different.
