To assess the inter-study variability of a recently published unsupervised segmentation method (Magn. Reson. Med. 1997;37:84-93), 14 brain MR studies were performed in five normal subjects. Standard deviations for absolute and fractional volumes of intracranial compartments, which reflect the experimental variability, were smaller than 16.5 ml and 1.1%, respectively. By comparing the experimental component of the variability with the variability observed in our reference database, an estimate of the biological variability of the intracranial fractional volumes in the database population was obtained.
