3.2.4 Smoothing

<smoothing></smoothing>

  • on
  • off Default Setting

This option enables or disables smoothing of the DWI and structural images prior to registration. Please note that the smoothed images are only used to compute the transformations from moving to fixed image. After the transformations are computed, the original images are used to create the registered images.

The default option is "off", as this has not been tested widely. Use at your own discretion.
