Summed Intraobserver Reproducibility of 3 Different Methods

MethodCaudate nucleusPutamenStriatumICC
MD (BPND)10.2% ± 9.2%9.7% ± 5.4%7.0% ± 4.1%0.97
MRD (BPND)14.2% ± 12.3%8.1% ± 7.5%5.7% ± 5.4%*0.98
SVI (SBR)6.7% ± 6.0%0.98
  • * Calculated striatum = volume-weighted (caudate nucleus+ putamen).

  • ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient.

  • No statistically significant better intraobserver reproducibility was observed for any method (MD vs. MRD, MD vs. SVI, MRD vs. SVI; P > 0.1), and all performed equally for intraclass correlation coefficient (n = 16).
