    Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an atypical Parkinson syndrome that poses diagnostic challenges due to similarities with Parkinson's disease.

  • 2

    Deep learning techniques, such as Deep Neural Patchworks, enhance the segmentation accuracy of brain structures like the putamen in MSA.

  • 3

    Traditional segmentation methods may lack precision in atrophic diseases, leading to potential biases in MRI parameter extraction.

  • 4

    The study compared deep learning segmentation with established methods like Freesurfer and Fastsurfer to evaluate diagnostic value.

  • 5

    MRI data were processed using advanced techniques to ensure accurate segmentation and analysis of neurodegenerative conditions.
