A *segmentation* is a labeling of regions of an image such that each location
(for example, a voxel or a surface vertex) is identified with a label or a
combination of labels.
Labeled regions may include anatomical structures (such as tissue class,
Brodmann area or white matter tract), discontiguous, functionally-defined
networks, tumors or lesions.

A *discrete segmentation* represents each region with a unique integer
label.
A *probabilistic segmentation* represents each structure as values between
A *probabilistic segmentation* represents each region as values between
0 and 1 (inclusive) at each location in the image, and one volume/frame per
structure may be concatenated in a single file.
