Abstract

Normal aging and a wide range of neurologic, inflammatory or psychiatric diseases lead to changes in the brain tissue over time. In the interest of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring, it is highly desirable to have robust tools that reliably measure brain morphometry. We explore the ability of an automated MR image quality assessment technique to predict the accuracy of subsequent algorithms for brain quantitative analysis. The approach proofs to be a very promising candidate to objectively assess quality prior to any post-processing in order to attribute tissue changes to a potential pathology rather than to image degradation.

Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging is the use of quantitative (computational) techniques to study the structure and function of the central nervous system, developed as an objective way of scientifically studying the healthy human brain in a non-invasive manner. Increasingly it is also being used for quantitative research studies of brain disease and psychiatric illness. Neuroimaging is highly multidisciplinary involving neuroscience, computer science, psychology and statistics, and is not a medical specialty.

Mathematical proof

A mathematical proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement, showing that the stated assumptions logically guarantee the conclusion. The argument may use other previously established statements, such as theorems; but every proof can, in principle, be constructed using only certain basic or original assumptions known as axioms, along with the accepted rules of inference. Proofs are examples of exhaustive deductive reasoning which establish logical certainty, to be distinguished from empirical arguments or non-exhaustive inductive reasoning which establish "reasonable expectation".

Aging brain

Aging of the brain is a process of transformation of the brain in older age, including changes all individuals experience and those of illness (including unrecognised illness). Usually this refers to humans. Since life extension is only pertinent if accompanied by health span extension, and, more importantly, by preserving brain health and cognition, finding rejuvenating approaches that act simultaneously in peripheral tissues and in brain function is a key strategy for development of rejuvenating technology.
