Summary:MRI-guided neuro interventions require rapid, accurate, and reproducible segmentation of anatomical brain structures for identification of targets during surgical procedures and post-surgical evaluation of intervention efficiency. Segmentation algorithms must be validated and cleared for clinical use. This work introduces a methodology for shape-constrained deformable brain segmentation, describes the quantitative validation used for its clinical clearance, and presents a comparison with manual expert segmentation and FreeSurfer, an open source software for neuroimaging data analysis. ClearPoint Maestro is software for fully-automatic brain segmentation from T1-weighted MRI that combines a shape-constrained deformable brain model with voxel-wise tissue segmentation within the cerebral hemispheres and the cerebellum. The performance of the segmentation was validated in terms of accuracy and reproducibility. Segmentation accuracy was evaluated with respect to training data and independently traced ground truth. Segmentation reproducibility was quantified and compared with manual expert segmentation and FreeSurfer. Quantitative reproducibility analysis indicates superior performance compared to both manual expert segmentation and FreeSurfer. The shape-constrained methodology results in accurate and highly reproducible segmentation. Inherent point based-correspondence provides consistent target identification ideal for MRI-guided neuro interventions.
