  1. ThalL: left thalamus, ThalR: right thalamus, CC: corpus callosum, VentL: left lateral ventricle, VentR: right lateral ventricle, Brainstem: brainstem, CPL: left cortical plate, CPR: right cortical plate, WML: left white matter, WMR: right white matter, and CSF: cerebrospinal fluid. In average higher DSC values were obtained from STA + ISA, which was expected due to the use of larger number of atlases. The difference was particularly high for CC.
