In order to understand the temporal and spatial order of brain atrophy in Huntington’s disease (HD), we aim to characterize the whole brain volumetric changes based on T1-weighted whole brain segmentation. We adapted a novel multi-variant linear statistical model to capture the change points of volumetric changing courses from 412 control and HD subjects. The change point analysis revealed that the brain atrophy initiated in the deep gray matter structures and progressed to the peripheral white matter and cortical regions, and it also suggested the posterior brain atrophy proceeded the anterior brain.
