Cortical Segmentation divides the brain into various tissue types. Left: Coronal; Middle: Axial; Right: Parasagittal Views. Top: Original Gray Scale Image; Bottom: Segmented Cortical Gray Matter (Green). Images are in standard orientation.

Parcellation subdivided individual tissue type into anatomically relevant subregions. Planar sections used to subdivide the cerebrum and ventricles. PM=premotor; SM=sensorimotor; PO=parieto-occipital; T=temporal; OCC=occipital horns; MB=midbody; F=frontal horns

Spatial Normalization transforms a subject image into the standard space defined by the reference image such that the two images are best superimposed in the standard space. (a) The reference image (b) The subject image. (c) The normalized subject image, which matches closes with the reference image (a). (d) A rectangular grid deformed by the same amount as the subject image, displays the smooth deformation that was applied to the subject image.

Surface Morphometry localizes volumetric differences across brain structures, which can help to implicate specific subnuclei in neuropsychiatric disorders. Results comparing morphologies of the cortical surface in 14 term and 10 preterm infants. The right frontal cortices (anterior view) were enlarged in preterm infants. Sensorimotor and parietal cortices on the left were reduced in size in the preterm group. The results were unchanged whether sex and Postmenstrual Age (PMA) at time of scan were statistical covariates. The color bar depicts associated P-values F=frontal; P=parietal; SM=sensorimotor; T=temporal.
