Time Curve - Normalization modes (y-axis) (USA)
This video introduces you to the normalization modes available in the Time Curve tool. They allow you to perform a qualitative comparison of the different regions of interest in a dynamic evaluation.
Target group: All users
Audio: Yes
Recommended to be viewed on the following devices: Laptop, desktop computer (sufficiently large display required)
The normalization modes available in the Time Curve tool. Allow. You to perform a qualitative comparison of the different regions of interest in a dynamic evaluation. Please keep in mind that the user interface may differ slightly on different host systems. The Time Curve tool offers you different representations of the Y. Axis to. Toggle between these different modes. Click on the blue. Label at the top of the Y axis. There are three different options, The mean normalization mode, the ratio normalization mode. And the mean absolute mode. To get the dynamic curve scaled to a common baseline, you should use either the mean normalization mode or the ratio normalization mode. Select the mean normalization mode to compare the mean value of 1 region of interest against its mean value in the first phase. The normalized. Results as a percentage are. Available at the top right of the plot. Let's focus on the purple region of interest, labeled as TC-2 in this case. The mean value in each of these phases is divided by the mean value in the first phase. Please note that the starting point of each curve is set at 0% when you select the ratio normalization mode. The mean value of each region of interest in each phase is normalized to the mean value of the first drawn region of interest of that phase, as previously. Described. The normalized. Results. As a percentage are. Available at the top right of the plot. Let's. Focus again on the purple. TC. 2 In this case, the mean value in each phase is divided by the mean value of the yellow TC-1 located in the same phase. Note. That the dynamic curve of the reference region is set to. 1. 100% to. Deactivate the normalization and display the absolute mean value of each region of interest. Select mean within the mean and percentage mode. Each. Of the regions of interest. Provides. 2. Values in the result. Table. You can read the corresponding values. One corresponds to the absolute mean value. The other one corresponds to the normalized mean value as a percentage. In the case of the ratio as a percentage, the region of interest used as the reference displays only the absolute mean value. The normalized value in this case is always 100%. The other regions of interest provide. The. Absolute mean value and the corresponding normalized ratio value as a percentage. When you select the absolute mean mode, each of the regions of interest provides the corresponding absolute mean value.
