Table 2 Main characteristics of the datasets used for sensitivity and stability analysis. N_sub: number of subjects; min/max/mean/std: age statistics; F/M: number of females/males; 1.5T/3T: number of scans acquired at each field strength; CN: controls subjects; AD: Alzheimer’s patients.

From: Estimation of reference curves for brain atrophy and analysis of robustness to machine effects
