Cortical parcellation is an essential neuroimaging tool for identifying and characterizing morphometric and connectivity brain changes occurring with age and disease.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Cortical parcellation is an essential neuroimaging tool for identifying and characterizing morphometric and connectivity brain changes occurring with age and disease. A variety of software packages have been developed for parcellating the brain's cortical surface into a variable number of regions but interpackage differences can undermine reproducibility. Using a ground truth dataset (Edinburgh_NIH10), we investigated such differences for grey matter thickness (GM
RESULTS RESULTS
Corresponding gyral definitions and morphometry approaches were not identical across the packages. As expected, there were differences in the bordering landmarks of each gyrus as well as in the manner in which variability was addressed. Rostral and caudal SFG and SMG boundaries differed, and in the event of a double CG occurrence, its upper fold was not always addressed. This led to a knock-on effect that was visible at the neighbouring gyri (e.g., knock-on effect at the SFG following CG definition) as well as gyral morphometric measurements of the affected gyri. Statistical analysis showed that the most consistent approaches were FreeSurfer's Desikan-Killiany-Tourville (DKT) protocol for GM
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Given the significance and implications that a parcellation protocol will have on the classification, and sometimes treatment, of subjects, it is essential to select the protocol which accurately represents their regions of interest and corresponding morphometrics, while embracing cortical variability.
