CSEG7.98 ± 6.8*8.50 ± 7.668.64 ± 9.910.77 ± 1.111.40 ± 12.00
SSEG7.98 ± 6.8*8.12 ± 7.080.98 ± 1.550.14 ± 0.281.50 ± 2.30
  • Note:—COV indicates coefficient of variation; CSEG, serial single time-point conventional segmentation; SSEG, segmentation of subtraction images.

  • * The same baseline lesion volume (calculated with CSEG) is used with the 2 methods.

  • Rescan volume with SSEG = baseline volume (calculated with CSEG) + net lesion volume change (calculated with SSEG); percentage of lesion volume change = lesion volume change/baseline lesion volume.
