(a) Three-dimensional (3D) surface scan of left human hemisphere, acquired prior to dissection. (b) Routine dissection photography of coronal slabs, after pixel calibration, with digital rulers …
Note that Photo-SynthSeg supports subdivision of the cortex with tools of the SynthSeg pipeline.
Box plots are shown for SAMSEG, Photo-SynthSeg, and two ablations: use of probabilistic atlas and targeted simulation with 4 mm slice spacing. Dice is computed in two-dimensional (2D), using manual …
The figure shows box plots for the mean reconstruction error as a function of spacing and thickness jitter. A jitter of means that the nth slice is randomly extracted from the interval (rather …
(a) Dissection photograph with brain slices on black board with fiducials. (b) Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) features for fiducial detection. (c) Photograph from (a) corrected for pixel …
(a) Randomly sampled input label map from the training set. (b) Spatially augmented input label map; imperfect 3D reconstruction is simulated with a deformation jitter across the coronal plane. (c) …
Top row: skull stripped T1 scan and (randomly translated and rotated) binary mask of the cerebrum, in yellow. Second row: original T2 scan. Third row: randomly sliced and linearly deformed T2 …
(a) Initialization, with contour of 3D surface scan superimposed. (b) Reconstruction with 3D surface scan. (c) Reconstruction with probabilistic atlas (overlaid as heat map with transparency); the …
Compared with the FreeSurFer protocol, we merge the ventral diencephalon (which has almost no visible contrast in the photographs) with the cerebral white matter in our manual delineations. We also …
The volumes were corrected by age and sex using a general linear model. We note that the AUROC is bounded between 0 and 1 (0.5 is chance) and is the non-parametric equivalent of the effect size …

The p-values are for Steiger tests comparing the correlations achieved by the two methods (accounting for the common sample).
