Why Focus on Structures?
Evaluate specific a priori hypotheses
Reduce confounding effects of surrounding
structures
Enable structures to be normalized independently
Increase the level of detail
Present findings in the context of anatomy

Structure-Specific Normalization
Geometrical Correspondence
Motivation:
Anatomical correspondences may not be
always continuous across structures
Motivation:
In the absence of strong intensity
features, structures may be better
normalized on the basis of shape cues

0 v(x,dt) v(x,2dt) ... v(x,1)
Discretize v(x,t) and integrate at
sub-voxel resolution
is a path of diffeomorphisms and
gives a smooth curve at each voxel
Optimization is performed by manipulating v at each x and t

transformations that gives the
“smallest” parameterization of
the dataset:
Varying the geometric origin of the study is
fundamental to minimizing the total distance
