EFFECT OF NON-RIGID REGISTRATION ALGORITHMS ON THE ANALYSIS OF BRAIN MR IMAGES WITH DEFORMATION BASED MORPHOMETRY

Deformation Based Morphometry (DBM) is a widely used method for characterizing anatomical differences across populations. DBM is based on the analysis of the deformation fields generated by non-rigid registration algorithms that warp the individual volumes to a DBM atlas. Although several studies ha...
