In this study, we evaluate the test-retest reliability of graph theory techniques as applied to the structural connectome of the human brain. We explore unweighted and weighted graph metrics, as well as other measures of consistency, such as edge weights and module assignments. Two cohorts are used, one group (n=10) was scanned twice on the same scanner and the other group (n=5) was scanned once at two different sites, on the same model of scanner with identical acquisition parameters.
