Summary:An anatomical atlas is an annotated volume of images, charts or
tables that systematically illustrate an anatomical part. Atlas
annotations often include structure names, descriptions, locations and
functions, as well as other information specific to the atlas anatomy.
Individualized digital atlases can be generated by using a computer to
transform the shape of the atlas into the shape of images taken of the
individual. Generalized electronic atlases of the head, created from MRI
scans and labeled by experts, are currently available. The algorithms in
this research create individualized, subject-specific atlases
