Abstract

Objective: Ventricular volume measurements have been proposed as a useful biomarker for several neurological diseases. The goal of this study was to compare the performance of 3 fully-automated tools, volBrain (http://volbrain.upv.es ), ALVIN (Automatic Lateral Ventricle Delineation) (https://sites.google.com/site/mrilateralventricle/), and MRICIoud (http://mricloud.org ), with expert hand tracing to quantify lateral ventricle (LV) volume using magnetic resonance images.
