Gray Matter, White Matter and Cerebrospinal Volume in Schizophrenia and Subgroups: Mr Segmentation and Volumetric Study

Abstract

Objective: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has very high soft tissue resolution that’s why we are able to discriminate gray matter and white matter y well voxel based volume analysis can reliably be made. In this study we aimed to investigate the volume differences of the total brain, gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between healthy controls and the subgroups of schizophrenia which are deficit syndrome (DS) and non-deficit syndrome (NDS).
