| Summary: | Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has significantly accelerated many
studies involving the brain with more researchers looking into not only anatomy
and structural aspects of the brain, but also functional aspect due to excellent
soft tissue discrimination (Kennedy et al., 2003). MRI also enables researchers
to study the changes involving intracranial volume, brain volume and
compartmental volumes, giving valuable data regarding the normal human brain
morphological changes and in certain degenerative diseases or psychiatric
illnesses (Ohnishi et al., 2001; Peters, 2006).
