Deformation-based morphometry identifies deep brain structures protected by ocrelizumab [PDF]
Background: Despite advancements in treatments for multiple sclerosis, insidious disease progression remains an area of unmet medical need, for which atrophy-based biomarkers may help better characterize the progressive biology. Methods: We developed and

Characterization of dynamic patterns of human fetal to neonatal brain asymmetry with deformation-based morphometry [PDF]
IntroductionDespite established knowledge on the morphological and functional asymmetries in the human brain, the understanding of how brain asymmetry patterns change during late fetal to neonatal life remains incomplete.

Morphological Changes of Frontal Areas in Male Individuals With HIV: A Deformation-Based Morphometry Analysis [PDF]
ObjectivePrevious studies on HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals have revealed brain structural alterations underlying HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. Most studies have adopted the widely used voxel-based morphological analysis of T1-weighted images

Regional Volume Decreases in the Brain of Pax6 Heterozygous Mutant Rats: MRI Deformation-Based Morphometry. [PDF]
Pax6 is a transcription factor that pleiotropically regulates various developmental processes in the central nervous system. In a previous study, we revealed that Pax6 heterozygous mutant (rSey2/+) adult rats exhibit abnormalities in social interaction ...

Deformation-based morphometry applied to FDG PET data reveals hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Cerebral atrophy is a key finding in patients with dementia and usually determined on MRI. We tested whether cerebral atrophy can be imaged with FDG PET by applying deformation-based morphometry (DBM).

Deformation-based morphometry: a sensitive imaging approach to detect radiation-induced brain injury? [PDF]
Background Radiotherapy is a major therapeutic approach in patients with brain tumors. However, it leads to cognitive impairments. To improve the management of radiation-induced brain sequalae, deformation-based morphometry (DBM) could be relevant. Here,

Effect of nonrigid registration algorithms on deformation-based morphometry: a comparative study with control and Williams syndrome subjects [PDF]
Deformation-based morphometry (DBM) is a widely used method for characterizing anatomical differences across groups. DBM is based on the analysis of the deformation fields generated by nonrigid registration algorithms, which warp the individual volumes to a DBM atlas.

A Unified Statistical Approach to Deformation-Based Morphometry [PDF]
We present a unified statistical framework for analyzing temporally varying brain morphology using the 3D displacement vector field from a nonlinear deformation required to register a subject's brain to an atlas brain. The unification comes from a single model for structural change, rather than two separate models, one for displacement and one for ...

Deformation-based surface morphometry applied to gray matter deformation [PDF]
We present a unified statistical approach to deformation-based morphometry applied to the cortical surface. The cerebral cortex has the topology of a 2D highly convoluted sheet. As the brain develops over time, the cortical surface area, thickness, curvature, and total gray matter volume change. It is highly likely that such age-related surface changes
