• Abstract summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is widely used as an affordable clinical application that is applied through electrodes attached to the scalp. It is difficult to determine the amount and distribution of the electric field (EF) in the different brain regions due to anatomical complexity and high intersubject variability. In this study, a single-encoder multi-decoders convolutional neural network is proposed for deep brain segmentation.

• Abstract: Electro-stimulation or modulation of deep brain regions is commonly used in clinical procedures for the treatment of several nervous system disorders. In particular, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is widely used as an affordable clinical application that is applied through electrodes attached to the scalp. However, it is difficult to determine the amount and distribution of the electric field (EF) in the different brain regions due to anatomical complexity and high inter-subject variability. Personalized tDCS is an emerging clinical procedure that is used to tolerate electrode montage for accurate targeting. This procedure is guided by computational head models generated from anatomical images such as MRI. Distribution of the EF in segmented head models can be calculated through simulation studies. Therefore, fast, accurate, and feasible segmentation of different brain structures would lead to a better adjustment for customized tDCS studies. In this study, a single-encoder multi-decoders convolutional neural network is proposed for deep brain segmentation. The proposed architecture is trained to segment seven deep brain structures using T1-weighted MRI. Network generated models are compared with a reference model constructed using a semi-automatic method, and it presents a high matching especially in Thalamus (Dice Coefficient (DC) = 94.70%), Caudate (DC = 91.98%) and Putamen (DC = 90.31%) structures. Electric field distribution during tDCS in generated and reference models matched well each other, suggesting its potential usefulness in clinical practice.

  In brain, sensitivity to segmentation accuracy is relatively high in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), moderate in gray matter (GM) and low in white matter for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) A CSF segmentation accuracy reduction of 10% in terms of Dice coefficient (DC) lead to decrease up to 4% in normalized induced electric field in both applications. However, a GM segmentation accuracy reduction of 5.6% DC leads to increase of normalized induced electric field up to 6%.
