  • Agreement represents the same allocation between our workflow and manual rating. Overall, there is 93.9% agreement between our workflow and a human rater (N = 1061). Microspheres were predominantly found in isocortex and thalamus/midbrain. Data are presented as number of microspheres found in a given region, with the percentage relative to the total counts column found in parenthesis.
