Neuroscience Researchers

Neuroscientists studying the locus of diseases by examining difference in the structure across patient and normal populations will benefit from automatic segmentation because it will decrease their costs and reduce human variability.

Figure 1 shows that interest in this kind of research is growing and Figure 2 shows which disorders are being studied.

Figure 1 – Numbers of research publications involving the measurement of MR brain scans. A total of 2091 Papers are shown up to the year 2003. This is from a PubMed search for publications using the keywords “brain”, “volume”, and “Magnetic Resonance”.

Figure 2 – Proportion of research publications by disorder for the publications in Figure 1.
