The comparison of mean magnitudes of deformation field and log Jacobian map in registering Chinese pediatric data using different atlases
| Atlas | Magnitude of deformation (mean ± standard deviation) | P‐value | Magnitude of log Jacobian (mean ± standard deviation) | P‐value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chinese56 | 24.08 ± 2.86 | 3.67E‐18 | 0.37 ± 0.04 | 1.08E‐06 |
| ICBM 152 | 21.59 ± 2.49 | 1.76E‐17 | 0.46 ± 0.06 | 6.50E‐11 |
| UNC Pediatric | 9.77 ± 2.38 | 2.78E‐05 | 0.49 ± 0.07 | 1.59E‐10 |
| Chinese Pediatric atlas (old protocol) | 5.67 ± 2.02 | 0.897 | 0.27 ± 0.04 | 0.174 |
| Chinese Pediatric atlas (proposed protocol) | 5.57 ± 2.10 | 0.25 ± 0.04 |
Student's t‐test has been conducted to measure the statisitical difference between each compared atlas and our new atlas, with P‐values reported.
