Automatic skull-stripping (SS) methods have reached a high level of accuracy compared to expert manual segmentation (typically defined as the “ground-truth”), but SS is still an active research area with many methods being proposed every year. In this work, we use twelve T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance (MR) images with each image having two different manual segmentations performed by experts, and four state-of-the-art SS methods to assess if it is possible to evaluate further accuracy improvements to SS. Our results indicate that at the current level of SS accuracy, this is not possible using single expert manual segmentation.
