IBSR -- The Internet Brain Segmentation Repository (IBSR)
About IBSR	English (USA)
The IBSR is a World Wide Web resource providing access to magnetic resonance brain image data and segmentation results contributed and utilized by researchers from all over the world. www.cma.mgh.harvard.edu/ibsr/ Its purpose is to encourage the development and evaluation of segmentation methods by providing raw test and image data, human expert segmentation results, and methods for comparing segmentation results. This repository is meant to contain standard test image data sets which will permit a standardized mechanism for evaluation of the sensitivity of a given analysis method to signal to noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, shape complexity, degree of partial volume effect, etc. This capability is felt to be essential to further development in the field since many published algorithms tend to only operate successfully under a narrow range of conditions which may not extend to those experienced under the typical clinical imaging setting. This repository is also meant to describe and discuss methods for the comparison of results. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the IBSR Archives.
