Are you correcting for gradient distortion? That could easily make 2%. It looks like you used different ROIs in your comparisons.

Many thanks for this.  My experience so far with SAMSEG, SynthSeg---small sample so far.  All images were obtained 3DT1 isomeric voxel.  Just wanted to see how the two pipelines would compare.

2 subjects who went on 6 different clinical scanners, GE or Philips:listed below. The coefficient of variation in the structures I'm interested in was:  normalized by the ICV (sbTIV, segmentation based TIV).
*SAMSEG*
interscan sbTIV NBrain-Stem    Ncortical-vol   NPutamen     NCaudate        NThalamus
COV     1.620754        1.937988        0.996077        1.971807        
1.863897        1.549882


*SynthSEG (normalized to ICV (sbTIV)--which was obtained from running SAMSEG on synthetic MRI (SynthSR):*
Brainstem          Cortical vol              Putamen       Caudate             
Thalamus
1.48696         1.61017         2.20072         2.51099         2.16196


  Since head size does not change in the short period of time, my test subjects (n=50) repeated scan x 2 had a sbTIV coefficient of variation of 0.93 based on SAMSEG.  Across the 6 clinical scanners that I used (listed below), I think there was enough tissue contrast similarities across the scanners to give a COV around 2%, which I think is NOT bad.    Even in clinical trials with MRIs performed on the same vendor scanner across different sites, I think the goal is to produce variability < 2%.

  From what I can see from my data, I think you could compare across vendors with a reasonable overall COV of around 2%, that is if the biological effect is > 2% per time of interest.

my best,
AJ

    Hi AJ

    you might try SynthSeg, as that is one of the advantages of it -
    it isn't biased towards any particular MRI sequence

    cheers

    Hi,
    Could synthetic MRIs generated by the SynthSR script be
    potentially used to harmonize T1w weighted images acquired on
    different scanners? Then used harmonized images for volumetric
    analyses?
    Many thanks
    AJ
