A comparison between voxel-based cortical thickness and voxel-based morphometry in normal aging
The morphology of cortical grey matter is commonly assessed using T1-weighted MRI together with automated computerised methods such as voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and cortical thickness measures. In the presented study we investigate how grey matter changes identified using voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) measures compare with local grey matter volume changes identified using VBM. We us...
متن کاملVoxel-based cortical thickness measurements in MRI
The thickness of the cerebral cortex can provide valuable information about normal and abnormal neuroanatomy. High resolution MRI together with powerful image processing techniques has made it possible to perform these measurements automatically over the whole brain. Here we present a method for automatically generating voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) maps. This technique results in maps ...
متن کاملVoxel-Based Morphometry
The human brain is in a state of constant change and adaptation. This may be driven either by normal developmental or aging processes or by the effects of learning, training, and new occurrences in daily life. In addition to these aforementioned changes, more systematic influences such as gender, disease, and genes affect the brain’s structure. Using magnetic resonance imaging, brain changes an...
متن کاملVoxel-based morphometry 1113 elements
An underlying assumption of the above parametric approach is that the process is a = Gaussian field, i.e., its statistical characteristics, including its roughness parameter (or its reciprocal, the smoothness ) ), are the same at each point in the image. The FWHM of the process should be constant in all directions and across all voxels in the image. While these assumptions are reasonable for fu...
متن کاملStratified Voxel-Based Morphometry (sVBM)
In neuroimaging, voxel based morphometry (VBM) has been a valuable tool of identifying brain-wide differences between populations. One of the key elements of VBM is to define a space for voxelwise comparisons. However, errors in this mapping to common space and variations of brain morphology, both natural and pathologic can result in false positives. In this work we explore a new framework, whe...
