    FIG 1.

    An example of hippocampal subfield segmentation by FreeSurfer (upper row) and volBrain (lower row) shown in axial, coronal, and sagittal sections. GC-ML-DG indicates granule cell and molecular layers of the dentate gyrus; HATA, hippocampus-amygdala transition area.

    FIG 2.

    A, Comparison of uncorrected total hippocampus, CA1, CA2-CA3, CA4-DG, and subiculum volumes (cubic millimeters) between FreeSurfer and volBrain (yellow, women; blue, men). Regression lines relating volBrain to FreeSurfer volumes are shown for each subfield. The average values of subfield volumes reported here are the sum of right and left hemisphere volumes combined. All Pearson r correlations are significant (P < .001). B, Bar graphs show means (SDs). Double asterisks indicate statistical significance (P < .001); FS, FreeSurfer; VB, volBrain.

    FIG 3.

    Bland-Altman plots for uncorrected subfield volumes (CA1, CA2-CA3, CA4-DG, and subiculum volumes [cubic millimeters]) generated by FreeSurfer and volBrain (yellow, women; blue, men). Intrasubject volume difference (y-axis) is defined as (FreeSurfer volume) – (volBrain volume). Mean volume is represented on the x-axis. The mean (SD, 1.96) volume difference and 95% confidence intervals are plotted as dashed horizontal lines. Except for the subiculum, all Pearson r correlations are significant (P < .001).

    • Note:—HATA indicates hippocampus-amygdala transition area; eICV, estimated intracranial volume; HIPS, hippocampal subfield segmentation protocol.

    • ↵a Uuits are cubic millimeters.

    • ↵b Not significantly different. Men had significantly larger values than females in all volumes, except hippocampus fissure (P < .05, Student t test). The average values of total and subfield volumes reported here are the sum of right and left hemispheres combined.
