The sensistivty analyses of the proposed L-SIMPLE method on multi-contrast images. (a) demonstrates that using both T1w and T2w images as atlases achieved better performance than only using T1w or T2w atlases on segmenting T1w images. (b) shows that using both T1w and T2w images as atlases achieved better performance than only using T1w or T2w atlases. From (a) and (b), it is evident that the performance of using the same sequence on both atlases and targets did not yield a significant difference on DSC compared with using the different sequences for atlases and targets respectively. The “*” symbol indicates significant differences.
