Sulcal and gyral landmarks on the human cerebral cortex are required for various studies of the human brain. Whether used directly to examine sulcal geometry, or indirectly to drive cortical surface registration methods, the accuracy of these landmarks is essential. While several methods have been developed to automatically identify sulci and gyri, their accuracy may be insufficient for certain neuroanatomical studies. We describe a semi-automated procedure that delineates a sulcus or gyrus given a limited number of user-selected points. The method uses a graph theory approach to identify the
