Abstract

In this paper we present new results on the automatic building of a 3D morphometric brain atlas from volumetric MRI images and its application to the study of the shape of cerebral structures. In particular, we show how it is possible to define “abnormal” deformations of the cerebral ventricles with a small set of parameters.
