Abstract
Modern imaging techniques such as MRI and CT have become invaluable clinical and research tools for visualizing internal organs and anatomic structures, non-invasively. We present a dynamic imaging database for performing comparative morphologic studies in diagnostic radiology to facilitate clinical assessment. The prototype system utilizes a double elliptic Fourier transform to characterize shape in three dimensions. A prototype system was used to evaluate neuroanatomy from MR brain scans of children who have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome.
