Table 3 Two sets of mean absolute variability (AV) values and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) of the binding potential (BPND) of [11C]SCH23390 in four brain regions derived from two different methods (each defined in the leftmost column) in each of three parts of the image analysis process: (1) manual/FreeSurfer ROIs, (2) no realignment/realignment, and (3) manual cerebellum ROI/automated FSL cerebellum ROI)
