Voxel based morphometric analysis on MR images

Abstract

Examining of progress of diseases that occur in brain using numerical methods is one of the topics of neuroscience researches. One of the developing numerical methods for examinig local and global changes that occur in brain is Voxel Based Morphometry. For examining intragroup and intergroup differences via Voxel Based Morphometry is required to use some preprocessing methods together with statistical tools. In this study, Voxel Based Morphometry method have been examined using labeled Normal Control and Alzheimer Disease. Magnetic Resonanse images were taken from Open Access Series of Imaging Studies database. After examining volumetric differences as statistical that occur in the brain between two groups via Voxel Based Morphometry, it has been mapped on the template atlases.
