This page describes the MRI data requirements for using ASHS with the ASHS-PMC atlas. This atlas is used to automatically segment hippocampal subfields and extrahippocampal medial temporal lobe subregions ERC, BA35, BA36 and PHC.
This requires high-resolution T2-weighted MRI in which the layers of the hippocampus can be visually separated. A whole-brain T1-weighted MRI scan is also required to run ASHS.
To use the ASHS-PMC atlas, your data must meet these specifications:
In addition, your subjects
MRI scans for the ASHS-PMC atlas
We recommend using ITK-SNAP 3.6.2 or later to examine the datasets as described below.

T2-weighted MRI and T1-weighted MRI side by side in ITK-SNAP. In this example the two modalities are well aligned.
