This is a crossed modality dataset, see book Section 18.5. There are two modality factors.
The first modality factor modalityID1 can be "F" or "I", which represent two CT reconstruction
algorithms. The second modality factor modalityID2 can be "20" "40" "60" "80", which
represent the mAs values of the image acquisition. The factors are fully crossed. The function
StSignificanceTestingCrossedModalities analyzes such datasets.
