Abstract

This study compares two different methods for the task of brain segmentation in rodent MR-images, a convolutional neural network (CNN) and majority voting of a registration based atlas (RBA) , and how limited training data affect their performance. The CNN was implemented in Tensorflow.

The RBA performs better on average when using a training set with fewer than 20 images but the CNN achieves a higher median dice-score with a training set of 19 images.
