Quantitative extraction of normaal values from (diffusion weighted) MR images of the premature brain.

Concretely, we will develop a DTI-atlas for the premature brain (0 to 4 year) by combining non-affine registration techniques and new denoising algorithms for DWI-data as well as accounting for different growing speeds of the premature brain. Nowadays, DWI is also seen as one of the fastest growing modalities for preterm brain analysis.
