Automatical Adaption of the Stereotactical Coordinate System in Brain MRI Datasets

Abstract: Neuroanatomical and neurofunctional studies are often referenced to a high resolution MR brain dataset. To allow intersubject comparisons of cortical structures, one needs to remove the outer hulls of the brain, align the dataset with a coordinate system and introduce a spatial normalization. We describe an image processing chain that combines all these steps in a single, interaction-free procedure.
