Computer-based brain morphometry is widely used in neurological and psychiatric diseases studies, such as depression, Alzheimers disease and autism. 7 T MRI allows for higher resolution, but suffers strongly from B1 inhomogeneities. Recently, two methods, MPRAGE image division by GE image and MP2RAGE, have been proposed to remove such inhomogeneities. In this work, we calculate the cortical thickness estimation from high resolution MPRAGE and MP2RAGE MRI and compare different tissue segmentation tools.
