Mbirn: Large Diffeomorphic Deformation Metric Mapping and tutorials

• Short Description
  • The Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM) tool is an application which aims to assign metric distances on the space of anatomical images in Computational Anatomy thereby allowing for the direct comparison and quantization of morphometric changes in shapes. As part of these efforts the Center for Imaging Science at Johns Hopkins University develop techniques to not only compare images, but also to visualize the changes and differences ( http://cis.jhu.edu/software/ldmm/ ).
