Abstract
Reliable measurement of different tissue volumes in the living brain is of great importance for human brain research. In this article, we report on the inter- and intraoperator reliability and scan-rescan reproducibility of segmented intracranial tissue volumes from MR images using the image analysis software suite BRAINS. The absolute data of tissue volume measurements are also presented. The reliability and consistency of the measurements of the segmented volumes were excellent. The segmentation is robust and rapid and the volume measurements are plausible and suitable for quantitative studies in clinical brain research.
