12	12	For //ilastik// (Borg et al.2019), the resizing was performed in order to enable efficient processing. To clarify, the pixel classification algorithm relies on input from manual user annotations of training images, and the features ‒ intensity, edge and/or texture ‒ of the image pixels.  In practice, a test run was performed with //ilastik// on images of different sizes to find the optimal resolution for segmentation, with a final resize factor of e.g 0.1  for cellular features, and a factor of 0.05 for series with larger features like Alzheimer plaques.

	16	+The file names of the segmentation and atlas maps that correspond to a particular section must contain a unique ID in the format: sXXX.., with XXX.. representing the section number. The section number should reflect the serial order and spacing of the sections (e.g. s002, s006, s010 for every 4^^th^^ section starting with section 2).
