Voxel-based morphometry from conventional T1-weighted images has proved effective to quantify Alzheimer's disease (AD) related brain atrophy and to enable accurate automated classification of AD patients, mild cognitive impaired (MCI) patients and elderly controls [1, 2]. Little is known, however, about the classification power of volume-based morphometry, where features of interest consist of a few brain structure volumes (e.g. hippocampi, lobes, ventricles…) as opposed to about a million voxel-wise gray matter (GM) concentrations. This work aims to experimentally compare voxel-based and volume-based brain morphometry for automated disease classification.
