Voxel based morphometry (VBM) is a common brain imaging
tool used in research to detect differences in the
volume of brain tissues between groups. Its application
to a clinical setting has been hampered by its inability
to assess single subjects. This work presents a proof of
concept of single subject VBM, using a nonlinear
registration algorithm to simulate normal anatomical
variability and thus generate a sample of subjects out
of a single scan.
