Description
Single channel automatic segmentation of t1w-MRI brain scans into the major tissue classes (gray matter, white matter, csf). The task can only be applied to t1w brain scan showing parts of the skull and neck. The pipeline consist of the following steps:
- Step 1: Perform image inhomogeneity correction of the MRI scan via N4ITKBiasFieldCorrection (Tustison et al 2010)
- Step 2: Register the atlas to the MRI scan via BRAINSFit (ask Hans for citation)
- Step 3: Compute the intensity distributions for each structure
- Step 4: Automatically segment the MRI scan into the structures of interest using the EM Algorithm (Pohl et al 2007)
