Figure 3. Fully automatic segmentation of the hippocampus with SACHA.

Figure 3

Initialization (I.) extraction of the bounding boxes from the probabilistic atlases; (II.) extraction of the initial objects from each probabilistic atlas through conditional pruning; (III.) Obtained final segmentation. This method gives equivalent hippocampus segmentations as a manual segmentation (Bergouignan et al., 2009; Chupin et al., 2009). It gives global volumes of the hippocampus of each side (right and left). It also gives subparts volumes of the hippocampus (posterior subpart -including body and tail- and anterior subpart) after a manual insertion of the limit of the head.
