Voxel based morphometry (VBM) is a common brain imaging tool used in research to detect differences in the volume of brain tissues between groups. Its application to a clinical setting has been hampered by its inability to assess single subjects. This work presents a proof of concept of single subject VBM, using a nonlinear registration algorithm to simulate normal anatomical variability and thus generate a sample of subjects out of a single scan.
