FAst Segmentation Through SURface Fairing (FASTSURF): A novel semi-automatic hippocampus segmentation method

Abstract

FASTSURF segmentations have high accuracy and require only a fraction of the delineation effort of fully manual segmentation. Atrophy rate quantification based on completely manual segmentation is well reproduced by FASTSURF. Therefore, FASTSURF is a promising tool to be implemented in clinical workflow, provided a future prospective validation confirms our findings.
