Global multi‐center and multi‐modal magnetic resonance imaging study of obsessive‐compulsive disorder: Harmonization and monitoring of protocols in healthy volunteers and phantoms

Variation in IQMs persists, even for an a priori harmonized data acquisition protocol, but after pre-processing they have less of an impact on the outcome measures. Continuous monitoring IQMs per site is valuable to detect potential artifacts and outliers. The inclusion of both cases and healthy participants at each site remains mandatory.
