Note: The mean across scan pairs was computed for the global summary region, whereas the mean across ROIs was computed for the FreeSurfer ROI. Bold values indicate the best performing harmonization method. Asterisks indicate statistical significance of paired t‐tests comparing each harmonization method with unharmonized.
