Brain atlases serves as a map of spatial arrangement of anatomical structures. Cerebellum is functionally heterogeneous by the fact that it is connected to cerebrum and spinal cord and occupies only 10-20% of the brain and contains half the number of neurons. In this study, we have registered the cerebellum from different subjects to the common age appropriate template and generated a probabilistic atlas which is known to encode the anatomic variability present in the cerebellum of our subjects. We propose to create cerebellar parcellations automatically and highlight on translating macroscopic structures of the cerebellum obtained from the manual delineations.
