Comparison of accuracy between FSL’s FIRST and Freesurfer for caudate nucleus and putamen segmentation

Abstract Although several methods have been developed to automatically delineate subcortical gray matter structures from MR images, the accuracy of these algorithms has not been comprehensively examined. Most of earlier studies focused primarily on the hippocampus. Here, we assessed the accuracy of...
