Post-mortem MRI–histology comparisons provide great potential to advance our understanding of disease, and validating the source of MRI signals, that is necessary for the development of novel imaging methods to study neurodegeneration. A semi-automated prototype of a registration pipeline is reported, that was designed for conventional sparse histological sampling. Use of the pipeline is demonstrated by inserting individual 25 x 25 mm histological sections to their respective locations in whole-brain MRI data. The registration accuracy is approximately 1 mm.
