This work provides a new SIENAX (SIENAX2.0) pipeline for
the assessment of grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM)
volume changes as measured on MR images of Multiple
Sclerosis patients. Multisite datasets were analyzed and
the results compared with those obtained by the SIENAX
and the SPM8. New inhomogeneity correction and method
for relabeling of potentially mislabeled GM clusters
were introduced in SIENAX2.0 In isotropic high-quality
dataset the new SIENAX2.0 allows robust GM and WM volume
assessment halving the error when compared with SIENAX .
In non-isotropic dataset, SIENAX2.0 significantly
improves the robustness of GM and WM volume assessment.
