Segmentation and volume estimation of habenula using deep-learning in patients with depression

The research group including Yusuke Kyuragi, Naoya Oishi, Taro Suwa and Toshiya Murai of Department of Psychiatry at Kyoto University developed a tool to efficiently and accurately segment the habenula, a subcortical structure, on 3 Tesla MR images. Subsequently, they revealed the correlation between the volume of the habenula and the severity of depression.
