## Abstract The diagnosis of many neurologic diseases benefits from the ability to quantitatively assess iron in the brain. Paramagnetic iron modifies the magnetic susceptibility causing magnetic field inhomogeneity in MRI. The local field can be mapped using the MR signal phase, which is discarded

โฆ Synopsis
A methodology for spatial normalization of image data is presented. This methodology is based on a map between homologous features of an individual brain and the target brain, which is used to drive a three-dimensional elastic warping transformation. Functional or structural information present in the original, nonnormalized images is preserved during this transformation. In particular, information such as the volume or the total amount of a radioactive agent in any brain region can be calculated directly from the normalized images. Moreover, subtle morphological characteristics of an individual brain are captured by the properties of the spatial transformation applied to that brain. Intersubject or interpopulation comparisons are performed by comparing the corresponding transformations.

## Abstract This paper presents a new approach to functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) data analysis. The main difference lies in the view of what comprises an observation. Here we treat the data from one scanning session (comprising __t__ volumes, say) as one observation. This is contrary
