Medical image processing method, apparatus and program

Enter the MRI brain images of a subject, to create a white matter image tissue separated by white matter was extracted MRI brain image input, the white matter image created spatial standardization based on white matter templates are stored in advance by creating a standardized white matter image, based on the standardized white matter image created performs a statistical comparison of the white matter and the healthy person white matter of the subject. Thus, to accurately assess the degree of atrophy of the white matter extracted by tissue isolated from the brain of a subject image input.
