Sequence-independent segmentation of magnetic resonance images. (2004, methodology): “Equation (2) was then used to synthesize a strongly T1-weighted image with a flip angle of 30, which was used as input to automated cortical surface reconstruction procedures [35-37] to generate explicit models of both the gray/white junction and the pial surface.”
Automatically parcellating the human cerebral cortex. (2004, methodology): “…models were reconstructed for each of the subjects using previously presented techniques, including non-rigid surface-based alignment to a previously constructed spherical atlas (Dale and Sereno, 1993; Dale et al. , 1999; Fischl et al. , 1999a,b; Fischl and Dale, 2000; Fischl et al. , 2001).”
Thinning of the cerebral cortex in aging. (2004, methodology): “In the present study, we measured the thickness of the cerebral cortex from MR images (Dale and Sereno, 1993; Dale et al., 1999; Fischl et al., 1999a, 2001; Fischl and Dale, 2000), using a technique that has been validated via histological (Rosas et al., 2002) as well as manual measurements…”
Life-span changes of the human brain white matter: diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and volumetry. (2010, methodology): “We estimated regional WM volumes using FreeSurfer 4.1 by means of an automated surface reconstruction scheme described in detail elsewhere (Dale et al. 1999; Fischl, Sereno, and Dale 1999; Fischl, Sereno, Tootell, and Dale 1999; Fischl and Dale 2000; Fischl et al. 2001; Segonne et al. 2004).”
A hybrid approach to the skull stripping problem in MRI (2004, neutral): “Fortunately, we can avoid unfolding our surface ([4],[10],[12]), by noticing that the initial tessellated surface is modelled using an icosahedron, meaning that our original surface is exactly a tessellated sphere.”
A Topology Preserving Level Set Method for Geometric Deformable Models (2003, methodology): “Recently, in fact, there have been several postprocessing methods reported to correct the topology of a cortical segmentation that has the wrong topology [23], [24], [25].”
Childhood maltreatment is associated with reduced volume in the hippocampal subfields CA3, dentate gyrus, and subiculum (2012, methodology): “Briefly, this process includes motion correction, removal of nonbrain tissue using a hybrid watershed/surface deformation procedure (94), automated Talairach transformation, segmentation of the subcortical white matter and deep GMV structures (93, 96), intensity normalization (99), tessellation of t”
Geometrically Accurate Topology-Correction of Cortical Surfaces Using Nonseparating Loops (2007, background): “To clarify, the following steps in detail are taken from [42].”
Cortical Folding Patterns and Predicting Cytoarchitecture (2007, methodology): “The resulting binary segmentation was used to generate topologically correct and geometrically accurate surface models of the cerebral cortex (Dale et al. 1999; Fischl, Sereno, Dale 1999; Fischl et al. 2001) using a freely available suite of tools (http://surfer.”
Spatial Topography of Individual-Specific Cortical Networks Predicts Human Cognition, Personality and Emotion (2017, methodology): “FreeSurfer constitutes a suite of automated algorithms for reconstructing accurate surface mesh representations of the cortex from individual subjects’ T1 images (Dale et al., 1999; Fischl et al., 2001; Ségonne et al., 2007).”
Unique developmental trajectories of cortical thickness and surface area (2014, positive): “…gray matter structures and cerebellar structures (Fischl et al., 2004a,b; Hutton et al., 2009; Salat, 2004), intensity normalization (Sled et al., 1998); tessellation of gray white matter boundary automated topology correction (Fischl et al., 2001; Segonne et al., 2007), and surface deformation.”
FreeSurfer (2012, methodology): “This included automated geometric accurate topology correction (Fischl et al., 2001), surface-based inter-subject alignment (Fischl et al., 1999a, 1999b) and whole-brain segmentation (Fischl et al., 2002, 2004a).”
