Structural MRI-Based Brain Volumetry

The gray matter volumes of the brainstem and of the different sub-regions of the cerebellum were obtained via T1 structural MRI using the FAST segmentation tool [13 (link)]. Brain images were acquired using 3T Siemens Skyra (software platform VD13), with standard Siemens 32-channel RF receive head coil [14 (link)]. All the volumes are expressed in mm

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
