Abstract: Segmentation of brain MRI into white matter, gray matter, cerebrospinal fluid, skull, and other categories is an integral part of MRI analysis. To date, most widely used segmentation approaches require the use of population-based spatial segmentation priors, mostly to improve robustness to shading artifacts and noise. Prior generation requires a set of segmented volumes from a population similar to the one to be studied, and an alignment approach for aligning brains from multiple subjects.
