3.2.28 Write Noise Variance

<write_interpolated_variance></write_interpolated_variance>

  • on Default Setting
  • off

This allows for the writing of noise variance images. The noise variance images provide voxelwise varying noise values for use in the DIFF_CALC tensor fitting routines. Default value is on, and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND the use of this function. In versions previous to V1.1.2, the default value is set to "off". Now and in all future releases this will be set to "on".

Note: This option is disabled for Mac OS.
