Abstract<\/h2>\n

The cerebellum is a somatotopically organized central component of the central nervous system well known to be involved with motor coordination and increasingly recognized roles in cognition and planning. Recent work in multi-atlas labeling has created methods that offer the potential for fully automated 3-D parcellation of the cerebellar<\/span> lobules and vermis (which are organizationally equivalent to cortical gray matter areas). This work explores the trade offs of using different statistical<\/span> fusion<\/span> techniques and post hoc optimizations in two datasets with distinct imaging protocols. We offer a novel fusion<\/span> technique by extending the ideas of the Selective and Iterative Method for Performance Level Estimation (SIMPLE) to a patch-based performance model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm, Non-Local SIMPLE, for segmentation<\/span> of a mixed population of healthy subjects and patients with severe cerebellar<\/span> anatomy. Under the first imaging protocol, we show that Non-Local SIMPLE outperforms previous gold-standard segmentation<\/span> techniques. In the second imaging protocol, we show that Non-Local SIMPLE outperforms previous gold standard techniques but is outperformed by a non-locally weighted vote with the deeper population of atlases available. This work advances the state of the art in open source cerebellar<\/span> segmentation<\/span> algorithms and offers the opportunity for routinely including cerebellar<\/span> segmentation<\/span> in magnetic resonance imaging studies that acquire whole brain T1-weighted volumes with approximately 1 mm isotropic resolution.<\/p>\n

Figure 2 Summarized segmentation results for the Anura and AT datasets. Non-Local SIMPLE outperformed all other techniques on the Anura dataset (A). On the AT dataset Non-Locally Weighted Vote significantly outperformed all other techniques, but Non-Local SIMPLE still outperformed the previously gold-standard technique of Yang et al (A).Qualitatively, Non-Locally Weighted Vote seemed to oversegment the lobules whereas Non-Local SIMPLE tended to undersegment. The results of Yang et al visually produced results more consistent with the anatomic boundaries but had more internal boundary shifts than either Non-Locally Weighted Vote or Non-Local SIMPLE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
