Image contrast and registration are two important issues that determine the success of FMRIB's Integrated Registration and Segmentation Tool (FIRST). The purpose of this study was to investigate automated segmentation of deep gray matter nuclei using FIRST depending on image contrast and registration accuracy of the individual data to MNI space.
