    Abstract: Methods of the disclosure may include obtaining a first set of medical images at a first time point and a second set of medical images at a second time point, each set including at least two medical images. First and second algorithms may be used to calculate, respectively, first and third brain volume (BV) values at the first time point based on two or more images from the first set of medical images and second and fourth BV values at the second time point based on two or more images from the second set of medical images. A mathematical weight may be applied to at least one of the first, second, third, or fourth BV values. The first and third BV values may be averaged, and the second and fourth BV values may be averaged to determine overall BV values at the first and second time points, respectively.
