| contents | Accurate segmentation of thalamic nuclei is important for better understanding brain function and improving disease treatment. Traditional segmentation methods often rely on a single T1-weighted image, which has limited contrast in the thalamus. In this work, we introduce RATNUS, which uses synthetic T1-weighted images with many inversion times along with diffusion-derived features to enhance the visibility of nuclei within the thalamus. Using these features, a convolutional neural network is used to segment 13 thalamic nuclei. For comparison with other methods, we introduce a unified nuclei labeling scheme. Our results demonstrate an 87.19% average true positive rate (TPR) against manual labeling. In comparison, FreeSurfer and THOMAS achieve TPRs of 64.25% and 57.64%, respectively, demonstrating the superiority of RATNUS in thalamic nuclei segmentation. |
