The human cerebral cortex may be divided into functionally different, microarchitectonically distinct areas. While quantitative multi-modal MRI methods can reveal microstructural characteristics of cortical tissue, accurate microarchitectural parcellation of the entire cortex is yet to be attained. Here, we examine a novel method of automated in vivo voxel-wise cortical parcellation which exploits the area-specific microstructural information present in MR fingerprinting (MRF) signals. A Radial Basis Function Support Vector Machine (RBF-SVM) classifier, trained with a volume-based feature representation, achieved a macro-average area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) of 0.83.
