SPM is a powerful technique for the comparison of functional imaging data sets among
groups of patients. While this technique has been widely applied in studies of adults, it has …

Background Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) procedure is an objective tool to analyze
18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) images and a …

Spatial normalization is an essential preprocessing step in statistical parametric mapping
(SPM)-based analysis of PET scans. The standard template provided with the SPM99 …

Positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) studies of 42
subjects ages 6 to 38 years were analyzed using statistical parametric mapping to identify …

Volumetric studies have consistently shown reductions in cerebral gray matter volume
between childhood and adolescence, with the most dramatic changes occurring in the more …

In an age where the amount of data collected from brain imaging is increasing constantly, it
is of critical importance to analyse those data within an accepted framework to ensure …

The present study investigated the “template effect” on the morphometric analysis of a
pediatric brain MRI database obtained from 8-year-old children through various measures of …

Spatial normalization and morphological studies of pediatric brain imaging data based on
adult reference data may not be appropriate due to the developmental differences between …

FDG-PET contributes to the diagnosis and management of neurological diseases. In some
of these diseases, pathological gray matter (GM) areas may have a reduced FDG uptake …

Voxelwise statistical analysis has become popular in explorative functional brain mapping
with fMRI or PET. Usually, results are presented as voxelwise levels of significance (t-maps) …
