In a multicenter imaging study, it is vital to properly evaluate the variability of image quality among scanners. For diffusion imaging, estimations based on ADC and FA measurements with tensor models have previously been studied. However, such evaluation is not sufficient for studies with more diffusion directions like HARDI or DSI. This study uses track-density imaging to estimate the variability and reproducibility of multi-shell diffusion images from multicenter data acquired in the same subjects.
