Dear All, I have a question on the segmentation algorithm. As far as I understand it, segmentation works by making an initial probability estimate as to which tissue type a voxel most likely belongs to (based on the a priori-data) and then proceeds to do a cluster analysis (based on pixel intensity). My question is, what is the "usual" contribution of these two steps to the end-result ? Is the first or the second step more decisive ? I am aware of the 1997 paper on this, but was looking for a more informal assessment... Thanks!
