Comparison of Brain Volume Measurements Made with 0.3-and 3-T MR Imaging

Abstract

The volumes of intracranial tissues of 40 healthy volunteers acquired from 0.3-and 3-T scanners were compared using intraclass correlation coefficients, correlation analyses, and Bland-Altman analyses. We found high intraclass correlation coefficients, high Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and low percentage biases in all tissues and most of the brain regions, although small differences were observed in some areas. These findings may support the validity of brain volumetry with low-field magnetic resonance imaging.
