AU - Pernet, Cyril PY - 2019 DA - 2019/01/28 TI - A controlled comparison of thickness, volume and surface areas from multiple cortical parcellation packages JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - 55 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Cortical parcellation is an essential neuroimaging tool for identifying and characterizing morphometric and connectivity brain changes occurring with age and disease. A variety of software packages have been developed for parcellating the brain’s cortical surface into a variable number of regions but interpackage differences can undermine reproducibility. Using a ground truth dataset (Edinburgh_NIH10), we investigated such differences for grey matter thickness (GMth), grey matter volume (GMvol) and white matter surface area (WMsa) for the superior frontal gyrus (SFG), supramarginal gyrus (SMG), and cingulate gyrus (CG) from 4 parcellation protocols as implemented in the FreeSurfer, BrainSuite, and BrainGyrusMapping (BGM) software packages.
