Extension Description

Brain tissue segmentation plays an important role in many different image processing steps, which can offer a possibility to study different parts of the brain in different hypothesis, such as neurodegenerative disease progression and global brain structural quantitative parameters (brain atrophy, for instance). For this reason, tissue segmentation procedures have been intensively studied in the recent years. This extension aims to offer a fast, reliable and simple solutions for brain tissue segmentation, in which are separated in different modules. See the modules list below to find the most appropriate tool for your study.

Modules

• Brain Structures Segmenter
• Basic Brain Tissues
