Scaled Subprofile Model of Principal Component Analysis (SSM-PCA) is a multivariate statistical method and has been widely used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Recently, SSM-PCA has been applied to discriminate patients with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls with Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuation (ALFF) from Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (RS-fMRI). As RS-fMRI scans are more readily available than PET scans, it is important to investigate the intra- and inter-scanner reliability of SSM-PCA in RS-fMRI. A RS-fMRI dataset with Eyes Open (EO) and Eyes Closed (EC) conditions was obtained in 21 healthy subjects (21.8 ± 1.8 years old, 11 females) on 3 visits (V1, V2, and V3), with V1 and V2 (mean interval of 14 days apart) on one scanner and V3 (about 8 months from V2) on a different scanner. To simulate between-group analysis in conventional SSM-PCA studies, 21 subjects were randomly divided into two groups, i.e., EC-EO group (EC ALFF map minus EO ALFF map,  n  = 11) and EO-EC group ( n  = 10). A series of covariance patterns and their expressions were derived for each visit. Only the expression of the first pattern showed significant differences between the two groups for all the visits ( p  = 0.012, 0.0044, and 0.00062 for V1, V2, and V3, respectively). This pattern, referred to as EOEC-pattern, mainly involved the sensorimotor cortex, superior temporal gyrus, frontal pole, and visual cortex. EOEC-pattern's expression showed fair intra-scanner reliability (ICC = 0.49) and good inter-scanner reliability (ICC = 0.65 for V1 vs. V2 and ICC = 0.66 for V2 vs. V3). While the EOEC-pattern was similar with the pattern of conventional unpaired  T -test map, the two patterns also showed method-specific regions, indicating that SSM-PCA and conventional  T -test are complementary for neuroimaging studies.
