Sorry for not specifying. Yes, we are looking at difference in volume between the two groups using DODS. What is the most statistically sound... raw values, demeaning across the entire sample, or demeaning with groups separately? FYI, I exported the ICV values to SAS and there is a significant different between the two groups for ICV.

not sure what you are testing, but if you are, eg, looking at the
difference between two groups regressing out ICV, then it can make a
huge difference
