VASTees Publish Systemic Review on CSVD Segmentation Methods

Congratulations to a team of VASTees consisting of Jolene Phelps, Manpreet Singh, Cheryl R. McCreary, Caroline Dallaire-Théroux, Ryan G. Stein, Zacharie Potvin-Jutras, Dylan X. Guan, Jeng-liang D. Wu, Amelie Metz, and Eric E. Smith on their recent publication in Cerebral Circulation - Cognition & Behavior, the official Journal of The International Society of Vascular Behavioural and Cognitive Disorders.

The team summarized novel automated methods developed over the last 10 years that segment CSVD lesion types and have been specifically validated on a population with or at risk for CSVD (e.g., older adults, those with cognitive disorders, or those with vascular risk factors).They also assessed all included studies for methodological quality using the METhodological RadiomICs Score (METRICS). Of the 89 studies, 30 (23 for WMH, 5 for CMB, 1 for PVS, and 1 for lacunes) included links to download implementable code or models, and they've provided links for all in an effort to increase their accessibility.
