Robust-ComBat: Mitigating Outlier Effects in Diffusion MRI Data Harmonization

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.17968v1 Announce Type: new Harmonization methods such as ComBat and its variants are widely used to mitigate diffusion MRI (dMRI) site-specific biases. However, ComBat assumes that subject distributions exhibit a Gaussian profile. In practice, patients with neurological disorders often present diffusion metrics that deviate markedly from those of healthy controls,
