Table 3.

The mean (SD) annualized Brain Boundary Shift Integral (BBSI) value for uncorrected and phantom corrected images, registered using 6 or 9DOF, and for control and AD subjects.

Correction Control (n = 79) AD (n = 50)
None 0.51 (0.93) 1.38 (0.98)
Phantom corrected 0.51 (0.86) 1.37 (0.91)
9DOF registration 0.49 (0.81) 1.34 (0.89)

The BBSI value gives a measure of overall brain atrophy. This is a volume change expressed as a percentage of baseline brain volume, per year.
