=Description=
Single channel automatic segmentation of t1w-MRI brain scans into the major tissue classes (gray matter, white matter, csf). The task can only be applied to t1w brain scan showing parts of the skull and neck. The pipeline consist of the following steps:
* Step 1: Perform image inhomogeneity correction of the MRI scan via [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Modules:N4ITKBiasFieldCorrection-Documentation-3.6 N4ITKBiasFieldCorrection] (Tustison et al 2010)
* Step 2: Register the atlas to the MRI scan via [[Modules:BRAINSFit| BRAINSFit]] (Johnson et al 2007)
* Step 3: Compute the intensity distributions for each structure <BR>
Compute intensity distribution (mean and variance) for each label by automatically sampling from the MR scan. The sampling for a specific label is constrained to the region that consists of voxels with high probability (top 95%) of being assigned to the label according to the aligned atlas.
* Step 4: Automatically segment the MRI scan into the structures of interest using [[Modules:EMSegmenter-3.6|EM Algorithm]] (Pohl et al 2007)

=Atlas=
Atlas was generated based on 82 scans and corresponding segmentations provided by [http://pnl.bwh.harvard.edu/ Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory, BWH]. We registered the scans to a preselected template via Warfield et al. 2001. <BR>
