Preliminary comparison of FreeSurfer segmentation algorithms in the Wake Forest community‐based cohort and potential impact on ATN classification

Volumetric estimates were comparable across FreeSurfer segmentation algorithms in our cohort; however, cortical thickness estimates were impacted contributing to discrepant classification of atrophy. SynthSeg segmentations were robust to scan quality (not shown) and recovered susceptible regions (e.g., temporal pole). Deep learning-based segmentation algorithms (e.g., SynthSeg) require less processing time and may ultimately reduce the need to discard poor quality scans or perform manual segmentation.

Abstract

Volumetric estimates were comparable across FreeSurfer segmentation algorithms in our cohort; however, cortical thickness estimates were impacted contributing to discrepant classification of atrophy. SynthSeg segmentations were robust to scan quality (not shown) and recovered susceptible regions (e.g., temporal pole). Deep learning-based segmentation algorithms (e.g., SynthSeg) require less processing time and may ultimately reduce the need to discard poor quality scans or perform manual segmentation.
