CBF values in ventricles

Summary of what happened:

Hi guys,

I’m looking at cerebral blood flow maps generated with ASLprep, and I see values around 10 inside the ventricular regions for basically all images. Is this normal?

Command used (and if a helper script was used, a link to the helper script or the command generated):

#Define subject list
SUBJECT_LIST=/home/m/mchakrav/cindylu/scratch/analysis/ASLprep/subject_list.txt
SUBJECT=$(sed -n "${SLURM_ARRAY_TASK_ID}p" $SUBJECT_LIST)
