Background: Postmortem MRI allows brain anatomy to be examined at high-resolution linking pathology with morphometric measurements. However, automated methods for analyzing postmortem MRI are not well developed. We present a deep learning-based framework for automated segmentation of cortical mantle, subcortical structures (caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, and thalamus), white matter hyperintensities (WMH), and normal appearing white matter in (n=135) postmortem human brain tissue specimens (Table 1) imaged at 0.

MRI allows brain anatomy to be examined at high resolution and to link pathology measures with morphometric measurements. However, automated segmentation methods for brain mapping in postmortem MRI are not well developed, primarily due to limited availability of labeled datasets, and heterogeneity in scanner hardware and acquisition protocols. In this work, we present a high-resolution dataset of 135 postmortem human brain tissue specimens imaged at 0.

Introduction: Neurodegenerative disorders are associated with different pathologies that often co-occur but cannot be measured specifically with in vivo methods.

Methods: Thirty-three brain hemispheres from donors with an Alzheimer's disease (AD) spectrum diagnosis underwent T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Gray matter thickness was paired with histopathology from the closest anatomic region in the contralateral hemisphere.
