petpal.preproc.segmentation_tools.vat_wm_region_merge(wmparc_segmentation_path: str, out_image_path: str, wm_ref_segmentation_path: str, bs_segmentation_path: str = None)

Merge subcortical structures into a merged segmentation image according to the protocol for processing the VAT radiotracer.

Parameters:

• wmparc_segmentation_path (str) – Path to wmparc segmentation generated by FreeSurfer.

• out_image_path (str) – Path to which output fused segmentation is saved.

• wm_ref_segmentation_path (str) – Path to eroded white matter reference region generated by vat_wm_ref_region().

• bs_segmentation_path (str) – Path to brainstem segmentation generated by FreeSurfer. If None, then skip.
