Description

Clemens Pollak and co-authors published this brain imaging paper in 2026. The corpus callosum is the great bridge of fibers linking the brain's halves, and its shape tracks aging and disease. Many labs measure it by hand or with partial tools. The team present FastSurfer-CC, a full auto pipeline for the bridge's form.

The tool finds the mid-plane slice, cuts out the bridge and its neighbor the fornix, and fixes head pose by two landmarks. It then lays out thickness profiles, splits the bridge into parts, and pulls eight shape measures for study. On task-by-task tests it beat the best current tools. It also caught shape gaps between Huntington's patients and healthy peers that the top tool missed. The authors offer it for trials that use the bridge as a marker.
