To estimate the hypertrophic sites of the left ventricle by body surface mapping (MAP), we performed MAP in 55 patients with hypertension and compared the MAP data with echocardiographic findings. MAP data were analyzed using the departure map technique reported by Flowers et al. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the normal control were obtained from 40 normal volunteers. We constructed d...

INTRODUCTION The voxel-based group analysis (VBA) is one of the most effectual assessment methods of the entire white matter (WM) of brain. However, the VBA often suffers from high false discovery rate (FDR), which caused by embedded noise in voxels and imperfect registration. To surmount this problem, the combination of the VBA with a pre-segmented WM has already been proposed [1]. On the othe...

INTRODUCTION The voxel-based group analysis (VBA) is one of the most effective examination methods of the entire white matter (WM) of brain. However, the VBA often suffers from low statistical power (high false discovery rate), which caused by embedded noise in voxels. To ameliorate this problem, the combination of the VBA with a pre-segmented WM has already been proposed [1]. On the other hand...
