Skull stripping tools in pediatric T2-weighted MRI scans: a retrospective evaluation of segmentation performance
Due to its robustness and quick computation time, we recommend <i>SynthStrip</i> for skull stripping of pediatric T2-weighted MRI scans. We attribute the observed segmentation errors to the partial volume effect, which should be addressed in future research. Limitations of our study include the monocentric setting, the exclusion of pathological cases and the skewed age distribution in our cohort.
