3.2.20 Scale Signal Factor

<scale_signal_factor></scale_signal_factor>

  • 1 Default Setting

Use this tag to scale the diffusion weighted image (including b0) intensity. Regular MRI and DTI signal intensities are on the order of 10^3 and this software works best in this range. If the data in consideration has a different range, this scale factor can be used to scale the signal intensities by a constant during the upsampling. Will take effect if <upsampling> is 'all' or 'slice_only'. Integer values are expected, with a default value of '1' for no scaling.
