HybraPD atlas: Towards precise subcortical nuclei segmentation using multimodality medical images in patients with Parkinson disease.

ABSTRACT: Human brain atlases are essential for research and surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). For example, deep brain stimulation for PD often requires human brain atlases for brain structure identification. However, few atlases can provide disease-specific subcortical structures for PD, and most of them are based on T1w and T2w images. In this work, we construct a HybraPD atlas using fused quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and T1w images from 87 patients with PD. The constructed HybraPD atlas provides a series of templates, that is, T1w, GRE magnitude, QSM, R2*, and brain tissue probabilistic maps. Then, we manually delineate a parcellation map with 12 bilateral subcortical nuclei, which are highly related to PD pathology, such as sub-regions in globus pallidus and substantia
