Analysis of Structural Brain Imaging Data in Pediatric Samples – The Impact of Using Adult vs Pediatric Templates in Data Processing

Shivani Sowmyan
The current study uses structural MRI data from a large sample of children (~400) with a history of childhood maltreatment to address the issue of how the type of template used may impact structural brain imaging outcomes. It is anticipated that, due to more extreme deformations when using adult templates with pediatric samples, there will be quantitative differences in the estimations of cortical thickness, surface area, and subcortical volume for adult templates vs. pediatric templates.
