Abstract
CPUreads out the bloodstream associated values of target voxel of subject's standardized brain bloodstream images (step S). CPUsorts the bloodstream associated values in descending order (step S). CPUrejects bloodstream associated values that are ranked top 10% and bottom 40% (step S). When the subjects are 20 for example, bloodstream associated values of highest 2 subjects and of lowest 8 subjects are rejected. CPUcalculates and stores mean value and standard deviation of remaining bloodstream associated values after the rejection (step S). CPUcalculates mean value and standard deviation of bloodstream associated values for each voxel as target voxel (steps S, S, Sand S). Then, the alternative normal brain database of brain bloodstream image is obtained.
