Abstract in brief

  • Developed an automatic thalamus segmentation method using a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) on diverse T1-weighted MRI data, eliminating the need for standard scanner protocols.
  • Achieved high accuracy in segmenting the thalamus, comparable to existing methods, with better stability in volume estimates across different MRI scanners.
  • The 3D CNN demonstrated superior sensitivity in detecting thalamus atrophy in multiple sclerosis patients, indicating potential for improved clinical diagnosis and monitoring.

We used T1-weighted data from two densly sampled MRI datasets (few subjects, many data points) to look at #BrainAge: a) the Bergen Breakfast Scanning Club https://t.co/VybxibQKz6 b) the Frequently Traveling Human Phantom https://t.co/8FZKmHNdbn
