Structural connectivity estimates are accurate: the outcome of diffusion-simulated connectivity (DiSCo) challenge

Le résumé fourni par la source

The estimation of structural connectivity from DW-MRI is a challenging task, in part due to false-positive connections. Building on previous efforts, the MICCAI-CDMRI Diffusion-Simulated Connectivity (DiSCo) challenge was organized with the aim of evaluating connectivity methods using large-scale synthetic datasets obtained from DW-MRI Monte-Carlo simulations. The outcome of the challenge suggests that methods selected by the 14 teams participating in the challenge provide both high correlations between estimated and ground-truth connectivity weights and high accuracy in binary connectivity identification. Furthermore, the challenge provided unique data with realistic connectivity and microstructure properties to foster the development of connectivity estimation methods.
