BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Currently, accurate and reproducible spinal cord GM
segmentation remains challenging and a noninvasive broadly accepted reference standard …

Spinal cord pathology can be functionally very important in neurological disease.
Pathological studies have demonstrated the involvement of spinal cord grey matter (GM) …

Segmenting the spinal cord contour is a necessary step for quantifying spinal cord atrophy in
various diseases. Delineating gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) is also useful for …

Background In vivo quantification of spinal cord atrophy in neurological diseases using MRI
has attracted increasing attention. Purpose To compare across different platforms the most …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The quantification of spinal cord (SC) atrophy
by MRI has assumed an important role in assessment of neuroinflammatory …

Purpose Spinal cord gray‐matter imaging is valuable for a number of applications, but
remains challenging. The purpose of this work was to compare various MRI protocols at 1.5 …

Atrophy in the spinal cord (SC), gray (GM) and white matter (WM) is typically measured in-
vivo by image segmentation on multi-echo gradient-echo magnetic resonance images. The …

An important image processing step in spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging is the ability
to reliably and accurately segment grey and white matter for tissue specific analysis. There …

Spinal cord segmentation is a developing area of research intended to aid the processing
and interpretation of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For example, high …

The small butterfly shaped structure of spinal cord (SC) gray matter (GM) is challenging to
image and to delineate from its surrounding white matter (WM). Segmenting GM is up to a …
