Abstract

PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to identify anomalies in brain tissues because their localization is important for diagnosis and therapy planning. Due to the insufficient soft tissue contrast of CT, the division of the brain into anatomical meaningful regions is challenging and is commonly done with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
