Comparison of the back-to-back reproducibility of the Siena/FSL whole brain atrophy measurement at 3T and 1.5T using the ADNI MPRAGE MRIs

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractAcademic

Abstract

Background: There is substantial evidence to demonstrate that whole brain atrophy measurements perform significantly differently at 3T than1.5T [1]. MRI based measurement of atrophy, such as whole brain and hippocampus, are being used as biomarkers in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Thus a comparison of their respective performances at 3T and 1.5T for planning clinical trials is needed. The aim of this study is to compare the reproducibility of the Siena/FSL whole brain atrophy measurement algorithm at the two field strengths, using back-toback( BTB) MPRAGE MRI scans from the ADNI study acquired at both 3T and 1.5T for each subject. Methods: We selected ADNI subjects who had BTB
