Introduction
These memos contain material which cover our attempts to define and extract
quantitative information from a wide variety of medical images. As well as
covering general purpose tasks (such as registration and interpolation), it
includes our modified approach to measurement of Cerebral Perfusion, (intended
to overcome the problems associated with deconvolution based techniques),
and techniques for the analysis of cortical thickness, (intended to
overcome the problems associated with voxel based morphometry).
