NA-MIC/Projects/Structural/Segmentation/Rule based segmentation:DLPFC, Striatum

Objective:

Semi Automatic Segmentation and parcellation for the Basal Ganglia.

Progress:

A Semi-Automatic algorithm for delineation of the striatum into the 5 desired regions was implemented into Slicer. Ramsey's Matlab program facilitates the subdivision of the striatum based on Jim Fallon's rules (UCI). Matlab interface allows for the simple definition of the regions of interest. Changed the interface from drawing on the segmentation to drawing on the gray-level images. Future work: Integration of the rule-based subdivision scheme into Slicer.
