The development of modern tools for morphometric analysis of the hippocampus of the brain according to MRI

In the framework of this paper, modern tools with an open-source code that can be used to automate the task of MR morphometry are investigated. The formats of storage and processing of MRI images used in modern software are considered. The key principles and algorithms of these programs and libraries are described. The analysis of the scientific literature related to the evaluation of the quality of work of this software and their comparative characteristics is given. Based on the analysis, we propose a scheme of a hardware-software complex that could be used to automate the processes of post-processor MRI data processing, storage and analysis of processing data, and volumetric analyzes. For volumetric analysis, the FMRIB Software Library software is mainly used, with the possibility of combining it with the Statistical Parametric Mapping software for converting MRI image formats and improving segmentation quality. The result of the prototype of this complex was visualized.
