Dear FSLers

I have some patient data which was half collected at b=1000 and half at 
b=2000 - sequence changed but we didn't notice :(

I scanned two controls with both b-values, registered the diffusivity 
images, then fitted curves to scatterplots for voxel-wise measures of MD 
and L1-3 between the two scans (screen grab attached for MD in one of 
the controls). I would like to correct the diffusivity values for the 
b=2000 group to match the b=1000 group so i can study the diffusivities 
for all patients.

I am interested to know if anyone has done this before? i get very good 
agreement between the curve fits between the two control subjects but 
i'm not sure how many more i should double scan.

also, are there any problems with correcting the diffusivity values like 
this that I have not foreseen? i understand that the SNR is different 
but does this prohibit diffusivity correction?

cheers
Scott
