MARGA

image

MARGA (Multispectral Adaptive Region Growing Algorithm) is a skull stripping algorithm that uses the complementary information provided by conventional MRI such as T1-weighted and T2-weighted to perform the brain segmentation in axial views and low quality images. The seed regions are spread using a 2D RG algorithm which behaves differently in specific zones of the brain, allowing to deal with the fact that middle MRI slices have better image contrast between the brain and non-brain regions than superior and inferior brain slices where the contrast is smaller.

The MARGA code is available in the useful resources section as a zip file, along with a link to public data used to test the algorithm. The libraries needed to run the scripts are found in the documentation tab. Before this, however, you should check the requirements tab.

Besides, in the documentation tab we provide links to other repositories containing skull stripping algorithms.
