<a name="sienar"></a><p><hr><H2>Voxelwise SIENA Statistics</H2>
<p>We have recently extended SIENA to allow the voxelwise statistical
analysis of atrophy across subjects. This takes a SIENA-derived edge
flow image for each subject, warps these to align with a
standard-space edge image and then carries out voxelwise cross-subject
statistical analysis to identify brain edge points which, for example,
are signficantly atrophic for the group of subjects as a whole, or
where atrophy correlates significantly with age or disease
progression.
