Abstract :
We registered together 13 whole-body MR images of perfusion-fixed mice. Twelve organs in a single mouse were then manually segmented and the labels were propagated to the other mice. Registration performance was evaluated both visually and by averaging the volumes of the individual organs across the mice. We have found an excellent tool for rapidly phenotyping organs in whole body mouse images.
