Journal ArticleDOI
SCT: Spinal Cord Toolbox, an open-source software for processing spinal cord MRI data
Benjamin De Leener,Simon Lévy,Sara M. Dupont,Vladimir S. Fonov,Nikola Stikov,D. Louis Collins,Virginie Callot,Julien Cohen-Adad +7 more
TL;DR: The Spinal Cord Toolbox is introduced, a comprehensive software dedicated to the processing of spinal cord MRI data that is tailored towards standardization and automation of the processing pipeline, versatility, modularity, and it follows guidelines of software development and distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust, accurate and fast automatic segmentation of the spinal cord.
TL;DR: A new automatic segmentation method (PropSeg) optimized for robustness, accuracy and speed that can be used to quantify morphological features such as cross-sectional area along the whole spinal cord is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic segmentation of the spinal cord and intramedullary multiple sclerosis lesions with convolutional neural networks.

Shepherd,Erik Charlson,Sridar Narayanan,Julien Cohen-Adad +51 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a CNN-based segmentation of the spinal cord and lesion from MRI images is presented. But, the method is not suitable for the case of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients due to the heterogeneity of lesion contrast, size, location and shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAM50: Unbiased multimodal template of the brainstem and spinal cord aligned with the ICBM152 space.
Benjamin De Leener,Vladimir S. Fonov,D. Louis Collins,Virginie Callot,Nikola Stikov,Julien Cohen-Adad,Julien Cohen-Adad +6 more
TL;DR: The fusion of the PAM50 and ICBM152 templates will facilitate group and multi‐center studies of combined brain and spinal cord MRI, and enable the use of existing atlases of the brainstem compatible with the ICBM space.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Six different spinal cord grey matter segmentation methods developed independently by various research groups across the world and their performance were compared to manual segmentation outcomes, the present gold‐standard, to characterize the state‐of‐the‐art in the field as well as identifying new opportunities for future improvements.
