SIENAX Methods

Brain tissue volume, normalised for subject head size, was estimated with SIENAX [Smith 2001, Smith 2002], part of FSL [Smith 2004]. SIENAX starts by extracting brain and skull images from the single whole-head input data [Smith 2002b]. The brain image is then affine-registered to MNI152 space [Jenkinson 2001, Jenkinson 2002] (using the skull image to determine the registration scaling); this is primarily in order to obtain the volumetric scaling factor, to be used as a normalisation for head size. Next, tissue-type segmentation with partial volume estimation is carried out [Zhang 2001] in order to calculate total volume of brain tissue (including separate estimates of volumes of grey matter, white matter, peripheral grey matter and ventricular CSF).
