The ICCs for 2D-SE and 3D-GE subcortical volume estimates using FreeSurfer and FIRST are shown. The ICC values are grouped in 5 categories: 33.3% and 43.8% of the structures with an almost perfect agreement using FreeSurfer and FIRST respectively, 42.9% and 25% of the structures with a substantial agreement using FreeSurfer and FIRST respectively, 14.3% and 12.5% of the structures with a moderate agreement using FreeSurfer and FIRST respectively, 9.5% and 6.25% of the structures with a fair agreement using FreeSurfer and FIRST respectively, and 0% and 12.5% of the structures with a slight agreement using FreeSurfer and FIRST respectively.

FIRST total intracranial volume was calculated with the following formula: (FIRST template volume/matrix determinant) × 1000.
