Abstract
Statistical shape analysis has become of increasing interest to the neuroimaging community due to its potential to locate morphological changes. In this paper, we present the a novel combination of shape analysis and Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) Tractography to the computation of a probabilistic, model based corpus callosum (CC) subdivision. The probabilistic subdivision is based on the distances of arc-length parameterized corpus callosum contour points to trans-callosal DTI fibers associated with an automatic lobe subdivision. Our proposed subdivision method is automatic and reproducible. Its results are more stable than the Witelson subdivision scheme or other commonly applied schemes based on the CC bounding box. We present the application of our subdivision method to a small scale study of regional CC area growth in healthy subjects from age 2 to 4 years.
