3D Brain Segmenation:

Extracting the Shape of the Human Hippocampus from Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Images

Abstract

A new protocol for high resolution diffusion imaging of the human brain was recently developed at the Peter S. Allen MR Research Centre. This protocol enables the capture of microstructural details in the hippocampus that are not visible in typical anatomical MRI. We developed a new deep learning network that extracts the hippocampus shape from the diffusion images. This will enable studies on the effects of aging and disease on the hippocampus.
