Automatic method for tracing regions of interest in rat brain magnetic resonance imaging studies

To automatically extract regions of interest (ROIs) and simultaneously preserve the anatomical characteristics of each individual, we developed a new atlas‐based method utilizing a pair of coregistered brain template and digital atlas.
