Precision analysis: summary of the group-average statistics for the signed distance (SD) and absolute distance (AD) measure (in mm) between test and retest surfaces (surface: DF—DELFMAP, FS—FreeSurfer; L/R: left/right hemisphere; mean: a group average of a surface-wise mean of the distance; stdev: a group average of a surface-wise stdev of the distance; “> 𝑋  mm (%)”: (group-average) percentage of surface points where AD was greater than 𝑋  mm; values in parentheses indicate the statistical spread within the group, measured by the group-wise stdev).
