    This study introduces tools for 3D statistical shape analysis of brain structures, enabling precise location of morphological changes. The methods convert segmentations into spherical harmonic descriptions for group comparisons and significance mapping.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Medical Image Analysis
    • Computational Anatomy

    Background:

    • Shape analysis is crucial for identifying morphological differences in brain structures.
    • Existing methods have limitations, particularly regarding topological constraints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a comprehensive toolkit for 3D statistical shape analysis.
    • To enable precise localization of morphological changes in brain structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Binary segmentations are converted to spherical harmonic descriptions (SPHARM).
    • SPHARM data is sampled into triangulated surfaces (SPHARM-PDM) for alignment.
    • Hotelling T(2) test is used for group surface comparisons, generating significance maps.

    Main Results:

    • The toolkit provides statistical p-values, corrected for multiple comparisons (FWER and FDR).
    • Visualizations include mean difference magnitude/vector maps and group covariance maps.
    • The methods are applicable to various 3D shape problems with spherical topology.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed tools offer a robust framework for 3D statistical shape analysis in neuroimaging.
    • This approach facilitates the identification and characterization of structural variations between groups.
    • The methods can be extended to other 3D shape analysis applications beyond neuroimaging.
