abstract = {Segmenting perivascular spaces (PVS) in brain MRI is crucial for studying the brain's lymphatic system and its link to neurological diseases. The Frangi filter is a useful tool for this task, but its parameters must be optimized for different scanner settings. This study employs an ordered logit model to refine these parameters based on neuroradiological PVS ratings. The resulting PVS volume strongly correlates with expert assessments (Spearman’s ρ=0.75, p < 0.001), indicating that this approach is a promising alternative to conventional optimization methods.},
