Automated segmentation of cerebral deep gray matter from MRI scans: effect of field strength on sensitivity and reliability

Abstract Background The cerebral subcortical deep gray matter nuclei (DGM) are a common, early, and clinically-relevant site of atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS). Robust and reliable DGM segmentation could prove useful to evaluate putative neuroprotective MS therapies. The objective of the study wa...
