Last Time
• Noticed a questionable aspect of the pipeline: normalizing values in a scan by the max
• SPM homogeneity correction is perhaps an alternate way to normalize the values across patients
• The goal here is to create a lesion core pre-selection that is close to Hagen’s edited versions– We favor selecting too much over too little as this is
easier to edit

Observations
• SPM normalization usually gives a more conservative estimate, but not always as in P028– Hagen did find himself removing a lot of material
from the max normalized lesions so this is probably good
• SPM normalization gives boundaries comparable to those edited by Hagen for the lesions is to does catch

Conclusion
• We would have to consult Hagen to see which he prefers to work from
• My take:– Lesion boundaries are improved at the cost of
missing some of the smaller focal lesions– I would switch to SPM normalization as I find that
fine tuning boundaries is time consuming
