Abstract

Highlights: IR–TSE serves as a better source of T1-WI than 3D MPRAGE to segment the striatum and thalamus. None of the structures could be entirely represented by using a standard segmentation algorithm. Binary masks obtained after segmentation of GM on IR TSE T1-WI were found to be more accurate to represent the posterior part of the striatum and the lateral part of the thalamus.
