FastSurfer

FastSurfer is a fast and accurate deep-learning-based neuroimaging pipeline. This approach provides a full FreeSurfer alternative for volumetric analysis and surface-based thickness analysis.


It consists of two main parts:

(i) FastSurferCNN - an advanced deep learning architecture capable of whole-brain segmentation into 95 classes, mimicking FreeSurfer’s anatomical segmentation and cortical parcellation (DKTatlas), in much less time than it would usually take with a standard FS segmentation and parcellation.

(ii) recon-surf - full FreeSurfer alternative for cortical surface reconstruction, mapping of cortical labels, and traditional point-wise and ROI thickness analysis in approximately 60 minutes.

The tool generates a report that provides volumetric and thickness measurements.
