Registration is required to integrate the information gained from different image modalities acquired from the same patient to obtain a comprehensive interpretation. In fMRI, the acquired brain volume data is often distorted by head motion. As a result, accurate information regarding task-induced (or resting-state) signal changes cannot be extracted. So, registration is essential among fMRI volumes (intra modal registration) to correct for such motion. Moreover, to detect the active voxels of the brain due to a particular task, multimodal registration between fMRI and MRI is required. This thesis work is divided into two parts: 1) The first part presents the application of an automatic mutual information based image registration technique to correct for the motion in head brain volumes acquired by fMRI, and also to register those volumes to brain volumes acquired by MRI. 2) The second part presents the application of statistical mapping based on the General Linear Model (GLM) to detect functional activities in the brain due to task related stimulation. Finally three sets of fMRI data have been analyzed and the results are presented.

1.0 out of 5 stars
No more than a thesis,
By J. Domingo (Valencia (SPAIN)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: fMRI and MRI Image Registration and Statistical Mapping (Paperback)
This book is the PhD dissertation of the author, apparently in its
original form, without any additions or amendments. The scientific quality of the work is good (even not exceptional) but usually one expects more of a published book, specially one so expensive as this (51 pages, paperback, length and presentation of a leaflet more than a book). I think that PhDs should be made available publicly through the university libraries (at least, my university does so) instead of offered pretending to be real finished highly relevant books.
