08 MarAutomatic labeling of MR brain images: performance approaching human accuracy

C. Ledig and D. Rueckert, in Chapter 14 of this recent book, describe segmentation of MR brain images, and conclude: “The performance of current state-of-the-art techniques is starting to approach that of human observers in terms of accuracy. However, the robustness of current approaches is not yet comparable to human observers. This is especially true in cases where pathologies are present in the MR images that are not present in the atlases.”
