Magnetic resonance imaging and cerebral volumic evaluation: comparison of four post-processing techniques

Four different MRI techniques of volumetric evaluation were applied in 10 healthy females and compared. The results have shown that not all techniques were interchangeable, but that the results of two groups of methods are not statistically different.
