T1 -weighted MR images were selected at random from three previous neuroimaging studies to represent a spectrum of system manufacturers, pulse sequences, subject ages, genders, and neurological conditions."
"The ground truth consisted of brain masks generated manually by a consensus of expert observers. All cases were segmented using a common set of parameters. Bridge Burner segmentation errors were 3.4% +/- 1.3% (volume mismatch) and 0.34 +/- 0.17 mm (surface...
