Diffusion MRI (dMRI) data can be affected by hardware and subject-related artefacts that can significantly bias downstream analyses. Therefore, automated quality control (QC) is of great importance to detect data acquisition and pre-processing issues. This is especially critical in large population studies, where manual QC is not practical. The automated EDDY QC framework allows to assess dMRI data both at the single subject and group levels. The QC metrics are derived through different stages of FSL’s pre-processing tools (TOPUP and EDDY). Using this framework it is possible to distinguish between good and bad quality datasets and, importantly, identify subsets of the data that may need careful visual inspection.
