Home < Smoothing multi-label brain segmentations

Input: (Label.nrrd) a multi-label map to be smoothed

  • WM label 3
  • CSF label 1
  • GM(without the following specified sub-cortical structures) label 2,
  • GM sub-cortical structures
    • RCaudate label 13
    • LCaudate label 14
    • RPutamen label 15
    • LPutamen label 16
    • RGlobusPallidus label 17
    • LGlobusPallidus label 18
    • RThalamus label 11
    • LThalamus label 12
    • RHippocampus label 19
    • LHippocampus label 20
  • Other
    • Cerebellum Label 6
    • BrainStem Label 5

Prepare smoothed label maps for separated labels

  • Tool: smoothing label map slicer3 module (SLM)
  • Individual label maps:
    • ICC: threshold Label.nrrd at all non-zero places, use default parameters in SLM to smooth the result, get binary label map
 ICC.nrrd
    • Smooth label 5,6,11-20, use SLM, take Label.nrrd as input, choose corresponding label to be smoothed, one at a time. All use default parameters. Result in label maps:
  BrainStem.nrrd   Cerabellum.nrrd   RCaudate.nrrd   LCaudate.nrrd   RPutamen.nrrd   LPutamen.nrrd 
  RGlobusPallidus.nrrd   LGlobusPallidus.nrrd   RThalamus.nrrd   LThalamus.nrrd   RHippocampus.nrrd   LHippocampus.nrrd
    • Smooth WM: choose label 3, take Label.nrrd as input, default parameters in SLM, get
  WM_smooth.nrrd
    • Smooth CSF: choose label 1, take Label.nrrd as input, change sigma = 0 in SLM, get binary label map CSF_ori.nrrd for CSF same as in Label.nrrd. Go to editor, do a closing operation on CSF_ori.nrrd (a 4-neighbor dilation --an optional smoothing using SLM --followed by a 4-neighbor erosion) to get
   CSF_smooth.nrrd
    • GM: choose label 2, take Label.nrrd as input, change sigma = 0 in SLM, get binary label map GM_ori.nrrd for GM same as in Label.nrrd. Go to editor, do a 4-neighbor dilation to get
   GM_Dia.nrrd

Re-combine smoothed label maps

  • Use the application Combine-sub-structures to generate the resulting smoothed label maps.
