Multi-Task Learning provides reliable striatal subregion segmentations with more comparable PET and fMRI results that closely match those obtained with manually drawn ROIs than atlas-based segmentations
Figure 2. Transverse (top), coronal (middle) and sagittal (bottom) views of T1-weighted MR Image, overlaid with ROIs by manual segmentation, MTL-generated segmentation, and CIC-generated segmentation. Transverse slices of manual segmentation show postPU to have slightly irregular shape compared to a smoother postPU in MTL-generated segmentation. Coronal and sagittal slices of the MRI and manual segmentation also show VST to have irregular shape compared to a smoothed and more circular VST in MTL-generated.
Figure 3. Scatter plots between BPND of the 5 subregions calculated using manual ROIs and both MTL- (left) and CIC-generated (right) ROIs across 19 independent test subjects. Regression line for all subregions is overlaid scatter plots, with regression coefficients found in Table 2.
