Brain Voxel-based Morphometry in Bipolar Mania

"A full Magnetic Resonance Imaging examination of the brain will be done for each of the subjects included in the study. The protocol of the study will include a high-resolution thin-cuts three Dimensions-T1 weighted gradient echo sequence to be used for the morphometric study.~The obtained images will be analyzed for any gross structural abnormalities. by using fully-automated computational voxel-based volumetric software that calculates the volume of different structures of the brain. The obtained data will be analyzed statistically using linear regression tests to determine the differences between Bipolar Disorder type I mania patients and the healthy controls"
