Quantification of errors in volume measurements of the caudate nucleus using magnetic resonance imaging

PURPOSE: To quantify the various sources of error in measuring the volume of the caudate nucleus and to understand these errors would lead to the standardization of the MRI protocol and would make the utility of data from around the world more viable in a global database. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected data at four different sites all using a Siemens 1.5T Vision MR Scanner. In all cases the same 3D gradient-echo scans were used on a single …
