Brain structure in diving players on MR imaging studied with voxel-based morphometry

Differences in brain structure in deaf persons on MR imaging studied with voxel-based morphometry.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The loss of a major sensory input early in life is known to cause alterations in neuronal connectivity and physiology at the cellular level, but effects on gross anatomy are less well understood. The purpose of this study was to compare volumetric structural brain MR imaging scans of deaf versus hearing subjects by using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). The hypothesis was t...

P 24: Evaluation of the Voxel Based Morphometry in Quantitative Analysis of Brain MRI Images

Introduction: Voxel based morphometry is a type of statistical parametric mapping that can be used to investigate the effect of diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease or other agent such as skills on brain structure (white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid). The aim of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of this method in detection of differen...

Brain Structure MR Imaging Methods: Morphometry and Tractography

A transverse and longitudinal MR imaging voxel-based morphometry study in patients with primary cervical dystonia.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Findings of standard MR imaging examinations are usually normal in primary CD. These findings are now increasingly challenged by studies using advanced neuroimaging techniques detecting abnormalities in brain areas that may be functionally involved in the pathophysiology of CD. Our purpose was to evaluate GM volumes in patients with CD at baseline and 5 years later. MAT...

Voxel-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...
