Issues with threshold masking in voxel-based morphometry of atrophied brains
There is great interest in using automatic computational neuroanatomy tools to study ageing and neurodegenerative disease. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is one of the most widely used of such techniques. VBM performs voxel-wise statistical analysis of smoothed spatially normalised segmented Magnetic Resonance Images. There are several reasons why the analysis should include only voxels within a...
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 کاملP 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...

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...
