pBrain: A novel pipeline for Parkinson related brain structure segmentation

Highlights • A novel pipeline for Parkinson`s disease structure segmentation is presented.• State-of-the-art fast multiatlas patch-based label fusion with systematic error correction is used to accurately and efficiently produce very competitive results in around 5 min.• The proposed pipeline works at high resolution (0.5 mm) but it can work also with standard resolution (1 mm) T2 images allowing the analysis of large legacy databases.• The proposed pipeline will be made publically available online through our volBrain platform.
