Visualizing the Dynamics of Structural Brain Change

Introduction: A morphometric assessment of the dynamics of structural brain change relies on a precise and informative visualization. Time-series examinations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow the assessment and monitoring of changes in intra-individual brain structures that are altered by pathological processes or surgical intervention. Three examples resemble structural alterations in the context of selected diseases: 1) Ventricular adjustment after surgical relief of elevated intracranial pressure in internal hydrocephalus corresponds to highly dynamic changes. 2) Intraoperative brain shift of the s…
