4. Characterization of discrepancies between manual and automatic segmentation to improve anatomical brain atlases
University essay fromAbstract : Purpose: To characterize discrepancies between expert manually segmented brain images from Hammers Atlas Database and automatically generated segmentations of the same images; to decide whether they can be attributed to flaws in the automatic segmentation or in the manual segmentation; and to determine general rules that enable these decisions. Theory: Image segmentation plays an important role in clinical neuroscience and experimental medicine for extraction of information from medical images, and it is a fundamental image processing step in medical image analysis.
