Brain Extraction (G + W + CSF)

This segmentation can be used for

1.the extraction of the whole brain as a unique segment from a T1 weighted brain MRI. To this end the Brain (MRI) Type need to be selected.

2.the classification of the pixels in a T1-weighted brain MRI into Grey Matter, White Matter and CSF when the G+W+CSF is selected as Type.

3.the extraction of the whole brain as a unique segment based on the Mask of the selected Template, with parameter Sampling distance in mm and the Probability level for the map discretization.

Note: The methodology variants from point 1 and 2 above  is an implementation of the segmentation in SPM8 (3 Probability Maps) and SPM12 (6 Probability Maps) respectively, with parameter Sampling distance in mm and the Probability level for the map discretization.
