To double check a recent reproducibility study that
showed the boundary shift algorithm (BSI) is at least
70% more reproducible than the FreeSurfer/ReconAll,
manual, AdaBoost and FSL/FIRST methods for measuring
hippocampal atrophy rates. A novel statistical test of
accuracy was employed based on the accepted hypothesis
that, in older subjects, the hippocampus shrinks over
time. The 4 other algorithms were found to require
sample sizes at least 50% larger than BSI to reject the
null hypothesis. The novel statistical test employed
provides double check of superior reproducibility of
BSI.
